The objective of this study is to assess both intra and post operative analgesia in infants undergoing umbilical hernia repair under general anaesthesia with neither opioid nor muscle relaxant, associated with a para umbilical block. It's a prospective study covering a 15 months period. The study included 75 infants (age = 5 months - 13 years; body weith = 6 kg - 35 kg). ⋯ Surgical conditions were considered as being godd or satisfactory in 90.6% and 9.4% of cases, respectively. Post operative analgesia, assessed 1 and 6 hours after completion of surgery was convenient in 93.3% of infants. The block appears as simple, most after efficient and safe in umbilical surgery.

[Regional anesthesia of the sciatic nerve with anterior approach in children: new landmarks].
The purpose of the case study was to evaluate new landmarks for the needle insertion in sciatic nerve block made through the anterior approach. We identified, by X-Ray, new simplified bone landmarks and suggested that the skin should be marked in order to find the puncture site. ⋯ The former ensures the regional anesthesia of the lower limbs in all trauma cases; besides, it cuts the block implementation time. The rate of complications and the duration of postoperative analgesia are not dependent on a selected approach.

To demonstrate the effectiveness of Sarapin in prolonging the action of neural blockade with improved pain relief. ⋯ This prospective, double-blind trial of 500 patients undergoing 828 treatments, one time with Sarapin and a subsequent time without, with each patient acting as their own control, showed no significant differences in the pain relief or duration of significant relief with the addition of Sarapin.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
[Intercostal nerve blockade with alcohol during operation for postthoracotomy pain].
Purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of intraoperative intercostal nerve blockade with alcohol in addition to epidural analgesia with morphine for control of postthoracotomy pain syndrome. ⋯ Additional intraoperative intercostal nerve blockade with alcohol provides an additional benefit for postthoracotomy pain relief, especially for at least one month following the thoracotomy.
