Regional anesthesia is the most common method to anesthetize the patient prior to office based procedures. Many techniques can be employed to achieve anesthesia of the dentition and surrounding hard and soft tissues of the maxilla and mandible. The type of procedure to be performed as well as the location of the procedure will determine the technique of anesthesia to be used. Orofacial anesthetic techniques can be classified into three main categories: local infiltration, field block, and nerve block. fc2268bd78e5761bd9723e005741bbf8 http://www.nysora.com/peripheral_nerve_blocks/head_and_neck_block/3061-regional_for_endotracheal_intubation.html Head and Neck Block Sat, 14 Mar 2009 14:22:00 +0000 Expertise with regional anesthesia of the airway allows intubation in awake patients with suspected difficult intubation, upper airway trauma, or cervical spine fractures.
