    Summary

    Intravenous regional analgesia (IVRA) is a simple technique for extremity procedures. Reintroduced in 1963, IVRA is useful for lacerations, fractures, and tendon repairs, especially in the upper limb.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Surgical Procedures

    Background:

    • Intravenous regional analgesia (IVRA) was first introduced in 1908.
    • The technique gained significant popularity after its reintroduction by Holmes in 1963.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the effectiveness and applications of IVRA.
    • To discuss the advantages of IVRA in operative and manipulative procedures on the extremities.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of the historical development and clinical application of IVRA.
    • Analysis of IVRA's utility in various extremity procedures.

    Main Results:

    • IVRA is a versatile technique for procedures like laceration repair, tendon repair, abscess incision, and fracture work.
    • IVRA is more frequently employed in the upper limb due to lower local anesthetic dosage requirements.
    • The upper limb offers a reduced risk of vascular pathology compared to other extremities when using IVRA.

    Conclusions:

    • IVRA is a valuable and simple anesthetic technique for extremity interventions.
    • The technique's efficacy and safety profile support its continued use in clinical practice.
    • Preference for upper limb application is attributed to dosage and vascular safety considerations.
