Anaesthetic management for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a child

Abstract

Laparoscopic surgical techniques offer several advantages over conventional open surgery. However, anaesthesia for laparoscopic surgical procedures is challenging due to various associated physiological consequences mainly of intra-peritoneal carbon dioxide insufflation and positioning. Gall stone disease is rare in pediatric age group and therefore, experience of anaesthetic management in such a condition is limited. Here we describe anaesthetic management of a 56-month-old male child scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gall stone disease.Journal of Society of Anesthesiologists 2014 1(2): 83-85

Comparison between Ultrasound-Guided Transversus Abdominis Plane Block and Ultrasound-Guided Erector Spinae Plane Block During Pediatric Laparoscopic Surgeries: A Randomized, Controlled, Prospective Study

“…It has been observed that ultrasound-guided ESPB (US-ESPB) can alleviate both localized and systemic pain [14,15]. Many operations on the abdomen and genital regions of children of all ages are now routinely performed using laparoscopic techniques [16].…”
