title: Complications of regional anesthesia.
abstract: Regional anesthesia is fraught with potential risks and complications. Proper training and careful experience with specific techniques will go a long way to improve our skills. Vigilance, conscientiousness, and attention to detail are the qualities that will not only help us to avoid complications, but also help us to detect early signs of developing complications and treat them promptly. Early detection and treatment will improve the ultimate outcome even when complications do occur.
