Patients undergoing dermatologic surgical procedures involving the distal limbs typically benefit from regional anesthesia. This review covers proper technique for ring blocks of the distal limb, including anesthetic selection and dose calculation.
- Regional anesthesia can effectively block the nerves that cause pain related to surgery, and reduce the amount of sedation needed.
- Anesthetic choice should be based on the desired time of onset and duration of pain control desired.
- Staying below the recommended maximum dose of the selected anesthetic agent is essential to avoiding potential toxicity.
- Dosing calculations and recommended injection sites and techniques are featured in this review.
