Regional anesthesia is applied across various surgical settings:
: Targeted injections for the upper and lower extremities, thorax, abdomen, and head and neck regions. Essentials of Regional Anesthesia
Regional anesthesia involves the infiltration of anesthetic agents near peripheral nerves to block pain transmission in specific anatomical regions without affecting a patient's consciousness. Modern practice focuses on improving safety and efficacy through advanced technologies like ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and continuous catheters.
