Abstract
Regional techniques at thoracic level for thoracotomy surgeries in infants are gaining wider acceptance. The principal focus is on preserving physiological stability and reducing postoperative pain and stress in these smaller individuals as they are more susceptible to impairment in pulmonary function. Knowledge about the drug pharmacokinetics, dynamics in this age group along with availablity of the adequate size equipment has revolutionised anesthesia in infants. This review focusses on the various techniques of regional anesthesia for thoracotomy in neonates and infants along with local anesthetics.
