[Conduction anesthesia on an outpatient basis].
Regional anaesthesia in the setting of pre-hospital trauma care implies adverse conditions. Therefore some practical advices may be useful; avoid spinal or epidural anaesthesia, prefer safer lidocaine. Aspiration test, test dose and slow injection are mandatory; so is a large experience in regional anaesthesia. Main usable blocks are: brachial plexus block (axillary or interscalenic approach), radial, medial and ulnar nerve blocks, intercostal and interpleural nerve blocks, sciatic and femoral nerve blocks, superior laryngeal nerve block. Using a nerve stimulator is strongly advised in most cases.
