Many surgical procedures can now be done under regional anaesthesia.

Braun made important contributions in the development of general, local and regional anaesthesia.

All operations were done under regional anaesthesia with exsanguination of the limb.

Regional anaesthesia is preferred as it allows the mother to be awake and interact immediately with her baby.

The patient is either given a full GA (general anaestheic) or regional anaesthesia.

Regional anaesthesia is now more common than general anaesthesia for Caesarean section procedures.

Regional anaesthesia during caesarean section is different to the analgesia (pain relief) used in labor and vaginal delivery.

Anaesthetic strategies to prevent vomiting include using regional anaesthesia wherever possible and avoiding emetogenic drugs.

Either open or minimally invasive surgery may be performed under general or regional anaesthesia, depending on the extent of the intervention needed.

Regional anaesthesia is contraindicated in women on therapeutic anticoagulation, and should not be used within 24 hours of the last dose of tinzaparin.

He also described a technique for using opioids, regional anaesthesia and general anaesthesia which is a concept known as balanced anaesthesia.

Regional anaesthesia requires the injection of local anaesthetic around the nerve trunks that supply a limb, or into the epidural space surrounding the spinal cord.

Regional anaesthesia may provide anaesthesia (absence of feeling, including pain) to allow a surgical operation, or provide post-operative pain relief.

Ropivacaine is contraindicated for intravenous regional anaesthesia (IVRA).

For these reasons, regional anaesthesia is only ever conducted in an environment that is fully equipped and staffed to provide safe general anaesthesia should this be needed.

As it has low cardiac toxicity, it is commonly used for intravenous regional anaesthesia (IVRA).

Vygon's product ranges extend across many therapeutic specialities, including vascular access, regional anaesthesia, IV management, neonatology and enteral feeding.

Regional anaesthesia (or regional anesthesia) is anaesthesia affecting a large part of the body, such as a limb or the lower half of the body.

Both general and regional anaesthesia (spinal, epidural or combined spinal and epidural anaesthesia) are acceptable for use during Caesarean section.

Regional anaesthesia can be provided by injecting local anaesthetics directly into the veins of an arm (provided the venous flow is impeded by a tourniquet.)

The model centres on complete surgical care within one management stop and with reduced risks on account of avoidance of general anaesthesia, regional anaesthesia, sedation or tourniquets.

Bupivacaine is contraindicated for intravenous regional anaesthesia (IVRA) because of potential risk of tourniquet failure and systemic absorption of the drug.

Nearly all ocular surgeries viz keratoplasty, cataract extraction, glaucoma surgery, iridectomy, strabismus, retinal detachment surgery etc. can be done under regional anaesthesia.

In this population, caudal epidural analgesia is usually combined with general anaesthesia since most children do not tolerate surgery when regional anaesthesia is employed as the sole modality.

Regional anaesthesia is used in 95% of deliveries, with spinal and combined spinal and epidural anaesthesia being the most commonly used regional techniques in scheduled caesarean section.
