Continuous Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block in Children: A Prospective Evaluation of Plasma Bupivacaine Concentrations, Pain Scores, and Side Effects

Abstract

In this study, we have shown that, in children, continuous fascia iliaca compartment block, a technique providing neural blockade of the thigh and the anterior part of the knee, was associated with safe plasma bupivacaine concentrations, was well tolerated, and provided satisfactory pain scores in most cases.
