What is block anesthesia?
Block anesthesia is the treatment of pain in a specific area of the body performed by introducing anesthetics into the nerve or nerves that give this area of the body. By blocking the passage of feeling along the nerves, the anesthesiologist can effectively cause the patient to be non -citch pain. This technique is also known as regional anesthesia, which is a reference to the fact that the body is blocked by an anesthetist. Local anesthesia takes place at a smaller localized level, such as in a particular area of the skin. Once the surgeon has identified the surgical place, the anesthesiologist brings anesthetic drugs to the participating nerves and tests the place to confirm that the patient cannot feel feelings in this area. If anesthesia has been taken, the surgeon can continue. The patient remains up, alert and aware, breathing independently and interaction with the surgery team. Surgical risks are significantly reduced by not putting the patient under general anesthesia and the patient can adhere to orders. If the patient becomes anxious or restless, medications can be provided,To keep the patient relaxed and comfortable. The patient is also monitored during the procedure for returning sensation and other complications.
If the patient is a candidate for block anesthesia, the anesthesiologist meets the patient, discusses the object management goals and projected the patient to identify any contraindicated drugs or procedures. This is used to develop a safe and efficient anesthesia plan adapted to the patient's and surgeon needs. On the day of the procedure, anesthetic agents will be introduced by an intravenous line and through direct injections to the AR AROUnd nerves and the area is operated and the anesthesiologist will remain in the patient during surgery to monitor vital symptoms and other patient well -being indicators.
In addition to use for surgery, block anesthesia can also be used for pain treatment. People with the conditions of chronic pain sometimes experience relief with nerve blocks where the nerve is temporarily nEzbatý. Permanent blocks can be done by nerve damage and can be recommended if the patient reacts well to temporary blocks. These procedures are supervised by an anesthesiologist and may also include input from a neurologist, a medical specialist who focuses on the treatment of the conditions related to the brain, mix and peripheral nervous system.
