Abstract:
Peripheral Regional Anaesthesia for Perioperative Analgesia Abstract. Peripheral regional anaesthesia is the actual gold standard of opioid-sparing perioperative analgesia and is mainly used for surgery of the shoulder, arm and leg. Well-trained anaesthesiologists are the prerequisite for the correct individual risk-benefit assessment and the performance of the nerve blocks using a combination of ultrasound guidance and peripheral nerve stimulation (dual guidance). The postoperative care of the patients requires trained staff.
