| Summary: | Since K. Koller introduced the first regional
anaesthesia with cocaine in 1846, it has evolved
rapidly. Regional anaesthesia has become the
contemporary anaesthesia approach to facilitate
surgical procedures and promote patient safety,
thanks to break throughs in pharmacology,
knowledge in medicine and innovative technology.
In recent years, regional anaesthesia techniques
have been used as part of multimodal analgesia
for patients rather than as the primary anaesthetic
strategy during surgery. It is used in conjunction
with general anaesthesia, which effectively reduces
the use of systemic analgesics such as morphine and
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents. This article
revisits its past, highlights current practices and its
potential future as it evolves. |
