Abstract
Non-analgesic properties of regional nerve blocks aid in the management of symptoms or diseases which are difficult to cure by conventional methods. Nerve blocks are one of the major analgesic modalities in the management of surgical patients. The non-analgesic effects of nerve block effects has been being explored in recent times. We have postulated systematically the non-analgesic benefits of different nerve block techniques and their mechanism of nerve block in management of multisystem diseases or symptoms. Diseases that are managed by non-analgesic effects of nerve blocks include postoperative cognitive dysfunction, posttraumatic stress disorder, postoperative nausea and vomiting, refractory arrhythmias, heart failure, hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, postoperative pulmonary complications and immune function.
期刊介绍：
The objective of this new online journal is to serve as a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed source of information related to the administrative, economic, operational, safety, and quality aspects of the ambulatory and in-patient operating room and interventional procedural processes. The journal will provide high-quality information and research findings on operational and system-based approaches to ensure safe, coordinated, and high-value periprocedural care. With the current focus on value in health care it is essential that there is a venue for researchers to publish articles on quality improvement process initiatives, process flow modeling, information management, efficient design, cost improvement, use of novel technologies, and management.
