Relland LM, et al. - In a double-blinded study, researchers prospectively compared the analgesic efficacy of three techniques, including caudal epidural blockade, peripheral nerve blockade, and local wound infiltration, for pediatric umbilical herniorrhaphy. All the three techniques seemed to provide effective analgesia. Findings thereby offer effective and safe analgesic options as alternatives to the neuraxial (caudal) approach.
