Abstract

Regional anaesthesia can marvellously dull the pain (and limit some other complications) of trauma, surgery and childbirth. But like all powerful techniques, it may have complications. Here the complications of regional anaesthesia are reviewed. The risks, presentation and the management of these complications are discussed in turn.
