Abstract:
Regional nerve blocks are a valuable skill for general practitioners and surgeons who perform surgical procedures under local anaesthetic. Once mastered, these injections provide rapid anaesthesia with minimal pain, little distortion of the tissues and improved aesthetic results. This paper describes techniques applicable to lesions of the face, upper and lower limbs, and to achieve anaesthesia after a fractured rib.
