"Regional anesthesia has grown tremendously in popularity in recent years. The ability to offer prolonged pain relief and have patients clear headed with decreased side effects compared to general anesthesia is an attractive alternative in today's practice.
"The Internet will become an important information resource for patients
and practitioners. Both anesthesia providers and patients will be able
to easily learn of the many options available for surgery today." |
