Regional anesthesia (nerve blocks) improves the patient’s surgical experience, and the benefits of regional anesthesia last throughout the surgical procedure and well into the recovery process. Joining us today to talk all things regional anesthesia is Dr. Theresa Bowling, MD, Director of Anesthesia at the Connecticut Orthopedic Institute in Bridgeport, CT. We’ll take a deeper look at the role that anesthesia plays in combatting the opioid epidemic , learn how nerve blocks work, and discuss the long-term benefits that patients experience through the use of regional anesthesia.
