[The trans-sacral route. Can the technique be simplified?]. / La voie transsacrée. La technique peut-elle être simplifiée?

Described by P. Busoni in 1988, the trans-sacral route is now often used in paediatric anaesthesia. It seems to the authors easier to search the lost of resistance only with a spinal needle without a syringe. Authors used bupivacaine 0.20% with epinephrine. Four failures have been observed, two intrathecal entering and impossibility to perform the trans-sacral block. In recovery room, not any child needed analgesic treatment. In ward, the results of 46 children only could be analyzed.
