Initially, most evidence was for the benefits when used in\r\nadults, but there is now amultitude of well-documented benefits in children. The practice of regional anaesthesia in children differs\r\nsomewhat from that of adults in that in the majority of cases it is used for analgesia and performed under general anaesthesia to\r\nallow placement, rather than alone for anaesthesia as in adults.
