Abstract
With this article we intend to increase the awareness of the efficiency and efficacy of peripheral nerve block as a treatment option for outpatient surgical anesthesia and postoperative home-based analgesia. Current investigations have demonstrated that peripheral nerve block is associated with a superior outcome (reduced pain, nausea and vomiting) and more efficient patient turnover than general anesthesia. Continuous peripheral nerve block and patient controlled peripheral nerve block lead to further improvement in postoperative analgesia and patient satisfaction. The recent advances and techniques described indicate that peripheral nerve block is both a valid and frequently a preferred option for ambulatory surgery.
