The Profile of Locoregional Anesthesia in Trauma Surgery at the Department of Anesthesia, Ibn Tofail Hospital
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Locoregional anesthesia (LRA) is one of the major management techniques of anesthesia. It includes peripheral nerve blocks (PNB) and central blocks (spinal anesthesia and epidural anesthesia). Locoregional anesthesia (LRA) is integrated in an anesthesia protocol alone or in a postoperative analgesia protocol, this technique offers a faster rehabilitation to patients and reduces the incidence of chronic pain, while avoiding certain risks of general anesthesia (curare, difficult intubation, controlled ventilation..). Locoregional anesthesia requires identification of the nerve, mainly by two methods: neurostimulation (use of a low current) and ultrasound (requiring a learning curve). The potential risks of LRA are to mask the pain of compartment syndrome, the massive bleeding at sympathetic block installation, and a failure that leads conversion to general anesthesia. The aim of this article is to study the place of Locoregional anesthesia in trauma surgery at the Ibn Tofail University Hospital, through a descriptive study.
