Regional anesthesia is experiencing a renaissance, which is certainly due to the possibility of an effective blockade of nociceptive impulsion from the surgery area, minimum pharmacological load during combined anesthesia, appropriate perioperative anesthesia and implementation of the equipment defining neuronal structure in routine practice. However, for the safe use of these techniques in pediatric practice, it is necessary to know the age-related anatomical and physiological characteristics of the child, the pharmacokinetics of local anesthetics and principles of their use. These issues are the focus of this review of the literature.
