Clinical Practice Guidelines for Peripheral Nerve Blocks

Clinical Practice Guidelines for Peripheral Nerve Blocks provide established recommendations for safely and effectively using nerve blocks to manage pain. These guidelines help healthcare professionals identify the right patients, select appropriate techniques, and ensure proper aftercare. They emphasize minimizing risks, such as infections or nerve damage, and highlight the importance of informed consent. By following these guidelines, providers aim to improve patient outcomes, enhance pain relief during and after surgery, and ensure that nerve blocks are used in a consistent, evidence-based manner across different healthcare settings.
