“…The studies selected were published between 1995 and 2024. The types of blocks in the studies were erector spinae plane blocks [ 12 , 13 , 14 ], ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve blocks [ 15 , 16 ], sciatic nerve blocks [ 17 , 18 ], maxillary nerve blocks [ 19 ], paravertebral blocks [ 20 ], femoral nerve blocks [ 21 ], radial nerve blocks [ 22 ], greater occipital nerve blocks [ 23 , 24 ], infraclavicular brachial plexus blocks [ 25 ], infraorbital nerve blocks [ 26 ], and dorsal penile nerve blocks [ 27 ].…”

Background: Pediatric regional anesthesia has been driven by the gradual rise in the adoption of opioid-sparing strategies and the growing concern over the possible adverse effects of general anesthetics on neurodevelopment. Nonetheless, performing regional anesthesia studies in a pediatric population is challenging and accounts for the scarce evidence. This study aimed to review the scientific foundation of studies in cadavers to assess regional anesthesia techniques in children. Methods: We searched the following databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Web of Science. We included anatomical cadaver studies assessing peripheral nerve blocks in children. The core data collected from studies were included in tables and comprised block type, block evaluation, results, and conclusion. Results: The search identified 2409 studies, of which, 16 were anatomical studies on the pediatric population. The techniques evaluated were the erector spinae plane block, ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block, sciatic nerve block, maxillary nerve block, paravertebral block, femoral nerve block, radial nerve block, greater occipital nerve block, infraclavicular brachial plexus block, and infraorbital nerve block. Conclusion: Regional anesthesia techniques are commonly performed in children, but the lack of anatomical studies may result in reservations regarding the dispersion and absorption of local anesthetics. Further anatomical research on pediatric regional anesthesia may guide the practice.
