This pain block allows anesthesiologists to just anesthetize the region affected by the surgery; this approach can help reduce rehabilitation time and preserve muscle strength, according to the report.
Anesthesiologists at Anesthesia Consultants, who practice at Advocate BroMenn Medical Center in Normal, Ill., are featured in the report for their use of the pain block. They claim to be one of only a small percentage of anesthesiologists in the region to use the approach, according to the report.
