title: Clinical aspects of CRNA practice. Regional anesthesia.
abstract: Regional techniques have become increasingly popular for anesthesia and analgesia for surgical patients. It is also frequently used for the patient with nonsurgical pain such as cancer. New discoveries in physiology, pharmacology, pain modulation and transmission as well as pain management therapies are a dynamic field of study in regional anesthesia and analgesia. Nurse-anesthetists provide regional techniques as part of their armamentarium of clinical skills.
