    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Surgical Procedures

    Background:

    • General anesthesia poses risks for certain patient groups.
    • Outpatient surgery requires efficient and safe anesthetic techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous regional anesthesia.
    • To identify suitable indications and contraindications for this anesthetic technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Regional anesthesia administered via intravenous infusion.
    • Successful implementation in 126 surgical cases.

    Main Results:

    • Only three complications were reported across all cases.
    • The technique demonstrated utility in outpatient and high-risk anesthesia settings.

    Conclusions:

    • Intravenous regional anesthesia is a viable option for select surgical procedures.
    • Contraindications include morbid obesity and the need for absolute hemostasis.
    • Caution is advised in patients with edema due to unpredictable anesthetic absorption.
