ASRA Practice Advisory on Neurologic Complications in Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine

Key Points

Neurologic complications associated with regional anesthesia are extremely rare, providing reassurance for practitioners.
The advisory presents recommendations for understanding and limiting these complications while excluding hemorrhagic and infectious issues.
The focus is on the etiology and differential diagnosis of complications to improve patient outcomes and safety during procedures.
Practical implications are outlined to aid anesthesiologists in managing the risks associated with regional anesthesia effectively.

Abstract

Neurologic complications associated with regional anesthesia and pain medicine practice are extremely rare. The ASRA Practice Advisory on Neurologic Complications in Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine addresses the etiology, differential diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of these complications. This Advisory does not focus on hemorrhagic and infectious complications, because they have been addressed by other recent ASRA Practice Advisories. The current Practice Advisory offers recommendations to aid in the understanding and potential limitation of neurologic complications that may arise during the practice of regional anesthesia and pain medicine.
