Impact of regional anaesthesia on postoperative pain relief

Patient safety is a relatively new concept in the health care system, which is related to the prevention of errors and adverse events in medicine and to the activities toward building a culture of safety in order to protect patients from adverse events in the process of diagnosis and treatment. Pain relief is a worthwhile humanitarian and clinical goal and there is good evidence that regional anaesthesia and analgesia offer a superior quality of analgesia compared to opioid-based analgesia . Regional anaesthesia can influence a reduction in surgical morbidity and mortality, length of hospital stay, and other markers of improved outcome from surgery. In recent years, there has been a marked growth in the use of both neuraxial and peripheral nerve regional anaesthesia techniques and concerns have been raised about the potentially serious adverse events associated with this increased use. Each institute should develop a pathway where the safety of the patient with the safe practice of regional anesthesia is maintained.
