Regional block (anesthesia)
Anesthesia delivered around specific nerves to numb a body region.
Regional blocks (spinal, epidural, peripheral nerve blocks) numb a specific body region without putting the patient fully asleep. Used alone for some procedures or combined with light sedation.
What this means for you: regional blocks dramatically reduce post-op pain and opioid need for major orthopedic and abdominal surgery. Confirm regional anesthesia is part of the plan.
