  • Title: Regional anaesthesia in developing countries.
    Author: Schnittger T.
    Journal: Anaesthesia; 2007 Dec; 62 Suppl 1():44-7. PubMed ID: 17937713.
    Abstract:
    In modern anaesthesia practice, regional techniques are preferred to general anaesthesia for many types of surgery, particularly in obstetric care. Improved outcomes have been recorded in UK practice, but the techniques remain underutilised in many parts of the world. With encouragement, training and a regular supply of appropriate needles and local anaesthetic agents, the advantages of regional techniques in the developing world could be realised.
