digital
intercostal blocks uses
rib fractures
flail chest
chest drains
thoracic injury
soaker catheters
for total ear canal ablation
limb amputations
extensive resconstructive surgery
puts LA into surgical sites just before closing incision
paravertebral anaesthesia
LA injected around spinal nerves coming out of vertebral canal
desentisises large area
intravenous regional anaethesia (IVRA)
tourniquet placed and used to keep LA distal to block
eg used for cattle digit amputation
epidural
for abdominal and hind quarter surgery
post op analgesia
standing surgery
drug into epidural space
caudal epidural
same as epidural but further caudal
tail amputations
perineal surgery
epidural complications
accidental vascular injection
hemtoma
subararachnoid injection
infection
hypotension
respiratory depression
nerve damage
pruritus
urinary retention
motor dysfunction
hypothermia
