Pediatric Regional Anesthesia Network (PRAN)

The Pediatric Regional Anesthesia Network (PRAN) is a collaborative database that collects and analyzes information about anesthesia practices used for children undergoing surgery. It aims to improve safety and effectiveness by sharing data on techniques, outcomes, and complications related to regional anesthesia—procedures that numb specific parts of the body. By pooling this information, healthcare providers can identify best practices, reduce risks, and enhance pain management tailored specifically for pediatric patients. PRAN supports continuous quality improvement and advances research in pediatric anesthesia to ensure safer, more effective care for children.
