Functional recovery with peripheral nerve block versus general anesthesia for upper limb surgery: a systematic review protocol
Abstract
BackgroundPeripheral nerve block is a single injection that inhibits the transmission of peripheral nerve impulses to the central nervous system. The inhibition of the nociceptive impulse may decrease the occurrence of muscle spasm following mobilization postoperatively. This mechanism may contribute to a better functional recovery following upper limb surgery. This systematic review will investigate the impact of peripheral nerve block on …
