Neuraxial techniques

Neuraxial techniques refer to medical procedures that involve injecting medication near the spinal cord. This can include epidurals or spinal blocks, commonly used for pain relief during childbirth or surgeries. By targeting the spinal nerves, these techniques block pain sensations while allowing patients to remain awake and alert. They provide an effective alternative to general anesthesia, helping to manage pain with fewer systemic side effects. Neuraxial techniques have become essential in modern medicine for various surgical and obstetric procedures, improving patient comfort and recovery.
