Intravenous Regional Anaesthesia

J M R COX MB, BS1

1 Present address Children's Memorial Hospital, Chicago, Illinois

Our experiences with a regional block using intravenous local anaesthetic agents have been described.

This method has the advantage of using simple equipment and requires neither specialized nor detailed anatomical knowledge. It can be used in any short operation on the extremities either requiring, or having no contraindication to, the use of a tourniquet. Possible toxic effects can be minimized. While it is not suggested that this method replace the present well-known techniques, it is felt that it can be recognized as having a greater application than is at present acknowledged in the modern texts, and in certain cases can be the technique of choice.
