Peripheral nerve blocks provide intense, site-specific analgesia and are associated with a lower incidence of side effects when compared with many other modalities of postoperative analgesia. Continuous catheter techniques further prolong these benefits. These advantages can facilitate a prompt recovery and discharge and achieve significant perioperative cost savings. This is of tremendous value in a modern health care system that stresses cost-effective use of resources and a continued shift toward shorter hospital stay as well as outpatient surgery.
