Nerve Stimulator–guided Paravertebral Blockade Combined with Sevoflurane Sedation versus General Anesthesia with Systemic Analgesia for Postherniorrhaphy Pain Relief in Children

Abstract

Paravertebral nerve blockade was associated with improved postoperative pain relief; reduced analgesic consumption, and faster hospital discharge compared with a systemic analgesia protocol in children undergoing herniorrhaphy.
