What are the different types of blocks performed for regional anesthesia?
In regional anesthesia, your anesthesiologist makes an injection near a cluster of nerves to numb the area of your body that requires surgery. There are several kinds of regional anesthesia. Two of the most frequently used are spinal anesthesia and epidural anesthesia, which are produced by injections made with great exactness in the appropriate areas of the back. They are frequently preferred for childbirth and prostate surgery. Another common type of regional anesthesia is a peripheral nerve block, which is produced by injections made with great exactness near a cluster of nerves to numb the appropriate area of your body extremity (arm, leg, head) that requires surgery. Two of the most frequently used are femoral nerve block, which is produced by injection in the leg region, and brachial plexus block, which is produced by injection in the arm and shoulder region. These blocks are frequently performed for surgery in the knee, shoulder, or arm. 5. May I request what type of anesthesia
