Regional anaesthesia could improve surgical outcomes

A new study has found that the use of regional anaesthesia in place of general anaesthesia in patients with sleep apnoea undergoing total joint replacement decreases major complications by 17%.

The study, published in the journal Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, provides evidence that the intervention during surgery can improve outcomes in patients with sleep apnoea, who often fare worse than patients who do not have the condition.
