ABSTRACT
This chapter contains four cases that use regional anaesthesia, which is becoming more prevalent due to an increasingly comorbid population, as well as the need for excellent analgesia and efficiency in day case surgery in particular. The first case discusses a patient who has a potential nerve injury secondary to regional anaesthesia, and its associated management. The second case examines the candidate on the use and technique of caudal anaesthesia in paediatric patients. Wrong-sided block in a patient is considered in the third case, and the final question demonstrates the importance of regional anaesthesia in elderly patients with rib fractures.
