Anaesthesia is a worrying time for any patient, but now the emphasis is to encourage patient empowerment by involving patients in their own care throughout their holistic journey. This article explores patient selection for regional anaesthesia, and the different types of central and peripheral blocks in line with national policies. The equipment required, pharmacology, toxicity of local anaesthetics, and their physiological effects on the cardiovascular, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems of the body will also be discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/175045891002000804","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,13]],"date-time":"2017-12-13T03:37:41Z","timestamp":1513136261000},"page":"288-293","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Regional Anaesthesia: Back to Basics"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Angela","family":"Cobbold","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Anglia Ruskin University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Trevor","family":"Money","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anglia Ruskin University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","volume-title":"Essentials of Anaesthetic Equipment","author":"Al-Shaikh B","year":"2007","unstructured":"Al-ShaikhB, StaceyS 2007 Essentials of Anaesthetic Equipment London, Churchill Livingstone"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","volume-title":"Textbook of Anaesthesia","author":"Aitkenhead AR","year":"2007","unstructured":"AitkenheadAR, SmithG, RowbothamDJ 2007 Textbook of Anaesthesia 5th ed London, Churchill Livingstone","edition":"5"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","unstructured":"Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland (AAGBI) 2007 Guidelines for the management of severe local anaesthetic toxicity Available from: www.aagbi.org\/publications\/guidelines\/docs\/la_toxicity_2010.pdf [Accessed May 2010]"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","unstructured":"CookT 2009 Major complications of central neuraxial blocks: The 3rd National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists Available from: www.rcoa.ac.uk\/docs\/NAP3_Exec-summary.pdf [Accessed May 2010]"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","volume-title":"Essential Anaesthesia: From Science to Practice","author":"Euliano TY","year":"2004","unstructured":"EulianoTY, GravensteinJS 2004 Essential Anaesthesia: From Science to Practice Cambridge, Cambridge University Press"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_1","unstructured":"LipidRescue 2007 Resuscitation for cardiac toxicity Available from: http:\/\/lipidrescue.squarespace.com\/ [Accessed May 2010]"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_1","volume-title":"Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology","author":"Marieb EN","year":"2009","unstructured":"MariebEN 2009 Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology 9th ed San Francisco, Pearson Benjamin Cummings","edition":"9"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_1","unstructured":"National Patient Safety Agency 2007 Epidurals and Infusions Available from: www.nrls.npsa.nhs.uk\/resources\/?entryid45=59807 [Accessed May 2010]"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_1","unstructured":"National Patient Safety Agent 2009 Safer spinal (intrathecal) epidural and regional devices Available from: www.nrls.npsa.nhs.uk\/resources\/type\/alerts\/?entryid45=65259 [Accessed May 2010]"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_1","volume-title":"Berry and Kohns Operating Room Technique","author":"Phillips N","year":"2007","unstructured":"PhillipsN 2007 Berry and Kohns Operating Room Technique St Louis, Mosby"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_12_1","volume-title":"Alexander's Care of the Patient in Surgery","author":"Rothrock J","year":"2007","unstructured":"RothrockJ 2007.
