title: [Optimal use of peripheral nerve blocks].
abstract: The advantages of regional over general anaesthesia have led to an increased use of peripheral nerve blocks. Among the few risks of regional anaesthesia are those of overdosage, systemic and neural toxicity. Techniques have been proposed to improve the success of peripheral nerve blocks and to avoid nerve damage or systemic toxicity. Nerve stimulator, anatomic landmarks, needles and anaesthetic solutions are discussed.
