A2 - Hadzic, Admir Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Hadzic's Textbook of Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Management, 2e AB - Neurologic injury following regional anesthesia is an uncommon, but dreaded, complication that creates high levels of anxiety in the patient and anesthesiologist.1,2,3 Most deficits will be sensory predominant and limited in duration and severity and can be handled with reassurance and appropriate follow-up. Discerning these cases from the rare complications that require emergent imaging, neurologic or neurosurgical consultation, or treatment is vital. This chapter focuses on recognition of postoperative neurologic complications, recognition of barriers to their recognition and evaluations, and an efficient, structured clinical approach to postanesthesia neurologic complications.
