Cannulation of a peripheral vein is an essential skill in medicine and anesthesiology. A peripheral IV access point is required to administer anesthesia, sample blood, infuse fluids and IV medications. ...
Focuses on the importance of documentation and monitoring of nerve block procedures. These topics have medicolegal implications and guide advances in safety and efficacy in regional anesthesia.
Provides a review of the literature so that clinicians can make an informed decision regarding the potential neurologic risks of regional anesthesia in the presence of preexisting neurologic disorders
This chapter features the common and new anticoagulants offering the reader a guide in decision making about the use of neuraxial anesthesia and peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs).
Reviews the various factors that may contribute to neurologic complications after peripheral nerve blocks and suggests principles of practice and implications of monitoring modalities to mitigate the risk of neurologic ...
