- Title
Ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block for reversal of ileostomy in a 2-kg premature neonate.
- Authors
Jacobs, Alet; Thies, Karl-Christian
- Abstract
The article presents a case report of a 2 kilogram premature neonate undergoing reversal of ileostomy with the use of ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block (TAP). It references a study by M. Fredrickson and colleagues published in the volume 18 2008 issue of "Pediatric Anesthesiology." It agrees with Fredrickson that ultrasound-guided TAP block in neonatal surgery is a feasible analgesic option and it is an alternative to the traditional technique.
