Background and Objectives: Peripheral nerve blockade is associated with excellent patient
outcomes after surgery; however, neurologic and other complications can be devastating for …

Peripheral nerve blockade is gaining popularity as an analgesic option for both upper or
lower limb surgery. Published evidence supports the improved efficacy of regional …

Complications of peripheral nerve blocks are fortunately rare, but can be devastating for
both the patient and the anaesthesiologist. This review will concentrate on current …

BACKGROUND: Regional anesthesia (RA) provides excellent anesthesia and analgesia for
many surgical procedures. Anesthesiologists and patients must understand the risks in …

In this article, we will discuss the pathophysiology of peripheral nerve injury in anaesthetic
practice, including factors which increase the susceptibility of nerves to damage. We will …

There is increasing interest in peripheral nerve blocks because of potential benefits and
concerns over interactions of anticoagulants and central neuraxial techniques. In a recent …

Neurologic deficits are noted on physical examination in approximately 0.2%-19% of
patients after regional anesthetic techniques. Laboratory and clinical studies suggest that a …

This review synthesizes anatomical, anesthetic, surgical, and patient factors that may
contribute to neurologic complications associated with peripheral nerve blockade …

Nerve injuries have been described as clinical, anatomic, or laboratory findings, consistent
with damage to discrete elements of the peripheral nervous system. 1 This rather broad …

Peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) are increasingly used as a component of multimodal
analgesia and may be administered as a single injection (sPNB) or continuous infusion via a …
