Complications of Other Peripheral Nerve Blocks

  • Chapter
Complications of Regional Anesthesia

  • 1677 Accesses

Abstract

This chapter will discuss peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) of the lower extremity. There are relatively few reports about complications associated with the use of PNBs in general and also about the mechanisms of injury after nerve blockade and methods to prevent them.
