Regional anaesthesia for outpatient surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Regional anaesthesia is an ideal anaesthetic technique for many outpatient surgery procedures. With proper preparation, selection and planning, regional anaesthesia will provide excellent operating conditions for the surgeon and a very satisfactory anaesthetic state for the patient in a cost-effective way. Its minimum effect on major organ functions, intense sensory blockade, low potential for postoperative side effects, and its ability to provide postoperative pain control, offers an excellent set up for these patients who will go home soon after the surgery.
