Abstract
SummaryUltrasound (US) scanning during the placement of major regional nerve blocks or intravascular catheters allows a non-invasive real-time image display of tissue planes, neurovascular structures and needles. Advances in scanner technology have allowed anaesthetists to accurately target needle placement, which enhances the success and safety of these procedures. This review will summarise the use of US for regional blockade and vascular cannulation in paediatric anaesthetic practice.
