Abstract

The circumcision is a painful and stressor procedure for children. With the penis dorsal nerve blockade technique it has been transformed that in occasions was a painful postoperatory period into one of relative tranquility and indent welfare for the patient. An observational descriptive study was carry out in a one year period in the "Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola" Teaching Hospital with the aim of describing the behaviour of some clinical pameters when using the penis dorsal nerve blockade for elective surgery in circumcision of pediatric patients. ASA I and II was the technique applied to all children that were elected in preoperatory consultation. The preoperatory mediation was done with Ketaler, 6 Mg/Kg IM and then a little dose of Diazepam and Atropine was administered. Then the BNDP was applied and the drop used was Bupivacaine in a 0.2Ml/Kg doses without epinephrine. The blockade was successful because the recquired analgesy was reach in most children without any complication present.
