Regional Anesthesia & Pain Management

Adequate pain management with anesthesia is crucial for medical and surgical procedures during and after the post-operative phase. In order to effectively manage pain - while reducing the opioid consumption, including their associated side effects - multimodal pain management strategies have become an important part of the peri-operative care process. Replacing general anesthetic and analgesic approaches in favor of combinations of regional and local methods such as neuraxial anesthesia (spinal / epidural approach), regional nerve blocks (single shot or continuous infusion) are key.

Understanding this importance, B. Braun Medical advocates and educates for the appropriate use of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Management to help manage the cost and complexity of healthcare delivery through improved patient and facility outcomes.
