Summary 

The purpose of this paper is to report the effectiveness and safety of axillary nerve blocks in reducing pain in paediatrics after the failure of other pain treatments. We describe two cases of paediatric patients with traumatic injury who had successful pain control with continuous axillary blocks after failed pain treatment with a patient controlled analgesia (PCA). Recommendations regarding pain management strategies follow these cases.
