Summary
Advances in regional anaesthesia to date have made it one of the safest modalities for surgical anaesthesia and pain management. Continued refinement and development of new block techniques and approaches enhance the potential for block success, rapid postoperative recovery and patient safety. This will benefit both patient care and the health care economy.
Résumé
À date, les progrès de l’anesthésie régionale en ont fait une des modalités les plus sécuritaires pour l’anesthésie et le contrôle de la douleur. Le développement et l’amélioration de nouvelles techniques de bloc et de nouvelles approches améliorent le taux de succès des blocs, la rapidité de la récupération postopératoire et la sécurité des patients. Ceci profite non seulement au soin des patients mais aussi à tout l’aspect économique des soins de santé.
