Orthopedic Anesthesia Research Articles

Anesthesia is administered before and during your surgical procedure so you do not feel pain. Some anesthetics induce sleep, while others cause drowsiness and/or numbness. A Regional Anesthetic is a form of anesthesia in which a part of the body is made numb using a local anesthetic. This technique is often called a nerve blockage. Because our orthopedic surgeons often operate on part of the patients arm or leg, nerve blocks are frequently a recommended type of anesthetic for surgery at the Raleigh Orthopedic Surgery Center. A significant advantage of nerve blocks for outpatient orthopedic surgery is that they provide the patient with excellent pain relief for many hours after the surgery. Nerve blocks may also reduce the amount of traditional narcotic pain medications that a patient may need to have during or after surgery.
