BackgroundNearly everyone who has directly experienced regional blocks understands that peripheral blocks are “win-win” propositions. For patients, they dramatically reduce both pain and the risk of postoperative surgical stress syndrome (which entails delayed recovery, immunosuppression, fatigue, hypoxia, nausea, ileus, and sleep disturbances). 1 For facilities, the routine use of blocks helps to meet the new postoperative pain guidelines mandated by accreditors. 2 For anesthesiologists, blocks are well-documented to produce better day-of-surgery outcomes, as is highlighted throughout the other chapters in this monograph.
