A four-part learning series with Sarah Gibson and Heide Klöppel on local anaesthetic blocks that can be used in dogs and cats.

The use of local anaesthesic drugs as part of a multimodal approach to analgesia is commonplace in human medicine; they reduce the time patients spend in the hospital, accelerate recovery and improve patient satisfaction.

Peripheral nerve blocks can be quick, simple and inexpensive to perform.  Despite this, the veterinary profession still relatively under-uses local anaesthetics.
