Throughout the
history of thousands of years of medicine, it felt a great need to anesthesia
for surgical operations, and only in 1846, Morton's introduction of ether
anesthesia began scientific anesthesiology. In this book, current drugs and
applications for anesthesiology as well as new developments for the use of
ultrasonography are presented.
Local anesthetics
are being increasingly applied in different surgeries. Lower side effects of
neuroaxial anesthesia, regional anesthesia, and field block, in comparison to
general anesthesia , are the main reasons why physicians prefer to conduct
surgeries under local anesthesia, especially in outpatient and day care
surgeries.
