However, the general rationale is to implement regional blocks in cases where conservative measures have failed or to avoid the side effects and complications of general anesthesia and oral medications. There is no strict set of guidelines for the use of peripheral nerve blocks. Please refer below to techniques for specifics to the more common peripheral nerve blocks performed. Anatomy and PhysiologyĪnatomy and landmarks depend on the type of block being performed. Studies have shown that peripheral nerve blocks are usually well-tolerated and provide regional analgesia superior to other modalities such as oral pain medications or general anesthesia.
With these developments, it requires that analgesic techniques keep pace with these surgical advancements. Recent advances in various surgical techniques and the development of more minimally invasive procedures have spurred an increase in outpatient procedures. Describe interprofessional team strategies for optimizing care coordination and communication to ensure patient safety during peripheral nerve blocks.Describe the potential complications of medications used for peripheral nerve blocks.Describe the preparation needed before performing a peripheral nerve block.Identify the indications for peripheral nerve blocks.Additionally, this activity highlights the critical role of the interprofessional team members in monitoring patients to minimize complications and improve outcomes. This activity reviews the indications, contraindications, and mechanisms of action of medications used in nerve blocks.
