Regional anesthesia is a method of pain prevention for surgeries and procedures. In regional anesthesia, only the area of the body that would feel pain is numbed, allowing the patient to have the procedure while awake or while sedated but still conscious.
Regional anesthesia consists of infiltrating a peripheral nerve with an anesthetic agent and blocking transmission to avoid or relieve pain. It differs from general anesthesia as it does not affect the patient's consciousness level to relieve pain.
Regional anaesthesia (RA): local anaesthetic blockade of peripheral nerves and central neuraxis, used for perioperative and postoperative analgesia, allowing patients to remain conscious during surgery and providing prolonged pain control.
Regional anesthesia involves the injection of local anesthetic agents around nerves in the peripheral nervous system or central nervous system to achieve reversible numbing of pain conduction in the corresponding innervated tissue.
With regional anesthesia, your anesthesiologist injects medication near a cluster of nerves to numb only the area of your body that requires surgery. You may remain awake or you may be given a sedative.
Regional anaesthesia (RA) reduces acute pain, chronic pain after some surgical procedures, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and pulmonary complications. RA can reduce length of stay and improve operating department throughput.
Neuraxial anesthesia/analgesia techniques in the patient receiving anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication
Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine, the official publication of the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA Pain Medicine), is a monthly scientific journal dedicated to mitigating the global burden of pain. Coverage includes all aspects of acute, perioperative, transitional, and chronic pain medicine.
Regional anaesthesia is widely used in modern anaesthetic practice for perioperative and postoperative analgesia. In the operating theatre, regional anaesthesia is used both on its own and in combination with other techniques (general anaesthesia and sedation).
