A2 - Hadzic, Admir PY - 2007 T2 - NYSORA Textbook of Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Management AB - The decision to use regional anesthesia can be a complex medical choice. Preexisting medical conditions, type of surgery, anesthetic risks, and patient characteristics all may have a profound impact on anesthetic choice and perioperative management. In patients with cardiovascular disease, regional anesthesia techniques (either alone or in conjunction with general anesthesia) can offer the potential perioperative benefits of stress response attenuation, cardiac sympathectomy, earlier extubation, shorter hospital stay, and intense postoperative analgesia.
