Functional Recovery with Peripheral Nerve Block Versus General Anesthesia for Upper Limb Surgery: A Systematic Review
2022-11-18
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Peripheral nerve block is a common anesthetic technique used during orthopedic upper limb surgery. Injection of local anesthetics around the target nerve inhibits the action of voltage-dependent sodium channels, inhibiting neurotransmission of pain impulses and providing motor immobility. Compared to general anesthesia, it could improve functional recovery by inhibiting nociceptive impulses a...
