Abstract

The purpose of this article review is to investigate whether or not nerve blocks are beneficial in minimizing the amount of postoperative anesthetic and analgesic medication required, hence improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. This review investigates several different kinds of nerve blocks, their administration techniques, and the anatomical and physiological aspects that influence nerve block effectiveness. It analyzes the impact of nerve blocks on opioid use, postoperative pain scores, and the incidence of opioid-related adverse effects by compiling the findings of numerous large-scale, randomized, controlled trials. Infection, hematoma, nerve injury, and systemic toxicity are some potential complications of nerve blocks discussed in the article. It concludes with recommendations for optimizing nerve block techniques in clinical practice and identifies areas that require further research, such as the development of new anesthetics and the identification of patient subgroups that would benefit the most from nerve blocks. In addition, it provides recommendations for optimizing nerve block techniques in clinical practice.
