[Possibilities and prospects of regional anesthesia in the current anesthesiological practice]

Presents a modern concept of conduction blocking, permitting revision of indication for it. Blocking is regarded as the basic component of present-day anesthesiologic care responsible for analgesia and regional muscle relaxation. Use of objective methods of verification of the elements of nervous formations improves the efficacy of and extends the range of indications for regional blocking solves the problem of regulation, and rational combination of this modality with selectively acting drugs provides the optimal realization of balanced anesthesia.
