Popis: Diagnostic nerve block complications are fortunately uncommon but they can have serious consequences for both the patient and the doctor undertaking the procedures. The best treatment involves both prevention and early recognition given that the real danger of complications lies not in their appearance but rather a lack of diagnosis as well as the need for a fast and suitable treatment. This article reviews the technical aspects, the anatomy, and the pathophysiology of complications, as well as their prevention and how to minimize their effect on the patient.
