What was your initial impression when the pediatric anesthesiologists you worked with started doing nerve blocks? Were you open or resistant to the idea?
Yes, I love them!!
What surprised you or what did you like about nerve blocks?
They take a little bit of time, but worth the wait.
How did you become a believer in the routine use of regional anesthesia?
No pain post op, comfortable in recovery room and I switched to only giving Tylenol and Motrin post op.
Do you have any advice for pediatric anesthesiologists trying to convince other surgeons of the benefits of pediatric regional techniques?
Do it quickly.
