Abstract

Safe and accessible anesthetic care is critically limited in Asian countries. Perioperative anesthesia related complications are higher in resource limited countries. Neuraxial regional anesthesia is becoming popular and considered as anesthesia of choice in surgeries below umbilicus due to its safety, accessibility, efficacy and low cost.

Effective coordination, task sharing approach, clinical updates and specific training programs are required to strengthen anesthetic care of general practitioners in rural Nepal.
