title: Regional intravenous sympathetic nerve blocks.
abstract: The assessment of the possible efficacy of regional intravenous blocks or sympathetic blocks, in general, raises a number of questions that may be answered after studying the techniques of regional pharmacologic segmental blocks and their effects on the sympathetic system. The authors present an original clinical study evaluating the capacity of regional intravenous guanethidine to induce a sympathetic blockade compared with other techniques.
