Local and Regional anaesthesia

So in terms of choices we've got for anesthesia, we can choose to have geno-anesthetic or neuro-axiom blocks, so spinal and visual, or the third thing we can provide is to numb just one limb, so we can numb an arm, we can numb a leg by doing some regional anesthesia. So, this, so depending on which limb is affected, so if we numb your arm, you'll be likely to have an injection in around your upper arm, and that's going to provide you with some pain relief and anesthesia for usually two hours. Same thing with the legs, so usually we do injection in your upper thigh and sometimes in your lower back to provide some also numbness and anesthesia of part of your knee. You will be awake for this procedure if we choose to have a regional anesthesia, however we can provide you with some sedation to make you a bit more comfortable about the procedure. So the sedation will make you feel a bit dizzy, drowsy, it will make you feel very sleepy. So it makes things a bit easier and more comfortable for you during the procedure if the choice is not a genuine anesthetic.
