Regional Anesthesia & Pain Management
Adequate pain management is crucial for medical and surgical procedures during the peri-operative phase. In order to effectively manage pain - while reducing opioid consumption, including their associated side effects - multimodal pain management strategies have become an important part of the peri-operative care process. Limiting general anesthesia and narcotic use, in favor of combinations of regional and local methods, such as Neuraxial anesthesia (spinal / epidural approach) and regional nerve blocks (single shot or continuous infusion), is key.
Understanding this importance, B. Braun Medical advocates and educates for the appropriate use of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Management to help manage the cost and complexity of healthcare delivery through improved patient and facility outcomes.
