Nursing career tend to specialize more each time in the different specialties, for this reason the introduction of the specialist nurse in anaesthesia required a specific knowledge on this medical discipline. The evolution of technologies applied to the design of new needles, echography machines and other equipment for regional anaesthesia techniques make essential to update of our knowledge in this area. This piece of work pretend to show the readers (nurses working in anaesthesia and others practitioners involved in surgical areas or pain management) a current view about the material and other instruments, mostly used in the different types of nerve blocks in regional anaesthesia. The aim of this, is provided an easy introduction of the regional anaesthesia to the junior practitioners, and updated evidence to the senior practitioner. The work is structured in a classic way: introduction, central blocks (subarachnoid and epidural), peripheral blocks, regional intravenous anaesthesia, eye block, asepsis and conclusions. |
