It describes the assessment of respiratory function and preoperative respiratory investigations, and ventilatory strategies to reduce pulmonary complications. Common respiratory conditions covered include respiratory tract infection, smoking, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, obstructive sleep apnoea, sarcoidosis, restrictive pulmonary disease, and the patient with a transplanted lung. For each topic, preoperative investigation and optimization, treatment, and anaesthetic management are described. Recommendations for the patient who may require post-operative respiratory support (e.g. non-invasive ventilation) are provided. Regional anaesthesia Adam Shonfeld and William Harrop-Griffiths Print Publication Year: 2015 Published Online: Jan 2016 ISBN: eisbn: DOI: /med/ Page 4 of 5

5 This chapter discusses the techniques of regional anaesthesia and analgesia. It begins with an overview of regional anaesthesia and goes on to describe safe practice and local anaesthetic agents. Techniques of locating nerves are then discussed, including ultrasound, and needle design is explored. Nerve blocks of the neck, upper limb, trunk, lower limb, and the neuraxis (spine) are described. Coagulation disorders, nerve injury, and the management of local anaesthetic toxicity are discussed. The chapter concludes with a dermatome map and tables of recommended nerve blocks for particular operations. Page 5 of 5
