Nerve Block, Not Nerve Wreck: 6 Pillars of Safety in Regional Anaesthesia | Dr. Divesh Arora

#RegionalAnaesthesia #NerveBlockSafety #UltrasoundGuidedBlocks #PatientSafety Safe regional anaesthesia begins long before needle insertion—with mental preparation, appropriate block selection, a prepared environment and careful patient assessment. Ultrasound provides real-time guidance, but safety still depends on continuous needle-tip visualisation, controlled injection and confirmation of local-anaesthetic spread. Dose calculation, incremental injection, injection-pressure awareness and vigilant monitoring help reduce nerve injury, intravascular injection and local anaesthetic systemic toxicity. In this practical session, Dr. Divesh Arora presents six safety pillars, a structured checklist and actionable pearls for making every regional block safer and more reliable.
