Different Approaches to Nerve Blocks for Enhanced Precision

Nerve blocks like the median, ulnar, and radial are strategically used for specific areas of surgery to provide efficient and controlled numbness. These targeted blocks are particularly useful for hand surgeries, ensuring the arm remains mobile postoperatively while the hand is adequately anesthetized. Additionally, differential blocks with short-acting agents proximally followed by longer-acting ones distally offer a balance between quick recovery and extended analgesia, especially for intricate procedures.
