Three types of regional anesthesia
|
Local Anesthesia
Nerve Blocks Spinal & Epidural Blocks |
|
|
Local Anesthesia
|
When a small amount of anesthetic drug is injected into the skin and subcutaneous tissues. The anesthetic is not aimed at a specific nerve.
|
|
|
Nerve Blocks
|
When a local anesthetic is injected more deeply into the body and/or is directed at a specific nerve or nerves.
|
|
|
Residual Motor Block
|
A temporary condition caused when local anesthetic blocks nerves that carry instructions to skeletal muscles telling them to contract. Results in an inability to move a body part. Usually the last effect to develop and the first to wear off. Results only when block is very dense and complete.
