AB  - This  chapter  reviews  specific  anesthetic  considerations  concerning  thermoregulation,  regional  anesthesia,  and  acute  pain  management.  The  role  of  thermoregulation  is  of  concern  for  all  patients  undergoing  surgical  procedures,  given  that  the  operating  room  is  typically  extremely  cold,  and  the  patient  is  exposed  and  at  risk  for  hypothermic  consequences.  Ultrasound  technology  developments  have  revolutionized  the  practice  of  regional  anesthesia.  As  well,  newer  drugs  with  long  duration  have  become  commonplace  for  anesthesia  providers.  In  this  regard,  enhanced  recovery  after  surgery  protocols  relies  strongly  on  ultrasound-guided  nerve  blocks  that  result  in  lower  opioid  consumption  postoperatively  and  earlier  hospital  discharge.  Adjuvant  agents  are  currently  being  studied  to  provide  additive  and/or  synergist  effects  with  local  anesthetics  in  evolving  acute  pain  management  strategies.
