Practice Resources
Regional Anesthesia
Welcome to the Pediatric Regional Anesthesia resource page!
We are delighted to share that CPAS has joined forces with RA-UK, APAGBI, ESPA and SPANZA to create a comprehensive global online educational resource for pediatric regional anesthesia.
The InPlane (International Network for Pediatric Locoregional Anesthesia and Education) app is now live for Apple and Android users.
This is a free, open-access mobile platform designed to support clinicians at every stage of practice in the safe and effective performance of regional anesthesia techniques in children.
New features coming soon will include locked access for CPAS users to Plan B Blocks and an LA calculator.
KEY FEATURES
- Evidence and expert based guidance in pediatric regional anesthesia
- Step-by-step block guidance covering anatomy, positioning, Sono anatomy and needling
- Practical educational content on consent, safety, LA dosing, compartment syndrome and more
- A comprehensive nerve block library searchable by anatomical reginal or surgery
- A growing collection of high-quality images
- Full offline access for use anytime, anywhere.
Pediatric Plan A blocks are freely available to all users, while members of the collaborating societies will receive exclusive access to advanced Plan B content launching in the Fall.
We invite you to download InPlane today and start exploring the platform. We hope it becomes an essential resource in your clinical practice, teaching and ongoing professional development.
Please note: InPlane is intended for educational purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice and does not replace formal training, supervision, local protocols or independent clinical judgement.
Based on CPAS regional page user feedback, we are happy to provide links to the NYSORA Pediatric Regional, RA-UK (Navigate to Plan A Paeds) and Baby Blocks pages below. These are resources I find helpful in my practice and hope you do too!
Please send any specific CPAS regional page feedback on this page to me: kat.lanigan@cw.bc.ca.
As the app evolves and grows, we also want to hear from YOU! Please send us your feedback to: Inplaneworks@gmail.com.
Warm Regards,
Dr Kat Lanigan on behalf of CPAS
