abstract: Advances in regional anaesthesia to date have made it one of the safest modalities for surgical anaesthesia and pain management. Continued refinement and development of new block techniques and approaches enhance the potential for block success, rapid postoperative recovery and patient safety. This will benefit both patient care and the health care economy.
