Field Blocks

Field blocks in regional anesthesia refer to a technique where anesthetic is injected into specific areas of tissue to numb a targeted region of the body. This procedure is often used for minor surgeries or painful procedures, allowing patients to remain awake and comfortable while minimizing pain in the affected area. Unlike general anesthesia, which affects the entire body, field blocks focus on smaller zones, providing localized pain relief. The approach enhances patient safety and comfort by avoiding the risks associated with more extensive anesthesia methods.
