Popis: Two facts should be underlined before discussing this topic: (1) in recent years the anesthetist “went out” the operation theater to be more and more involved in post-operative care; (2) it doesn’t exist a “gold standard “ in anesthesia, but the possible options are many and varied. The term “anesthesia” usually includes general (intravenous, inhalatory, mixed) and loco-regional anesthesia, plus MAC (Monitored Anesthesia Care). In this paper, the three options are briefly analyzed in order to understand the implications and the pros vs cons of each, with the objective of offering some suggestions about the best choice in knee replacement surgery. The conclusions support regional anesthesia, fully integrated with MAC to minimize (or cancel) post-operative pain.
