  1. regional anesthesia

    Regional anesthesia is a type of anesthesia that works to numb only the part of the body undergoing surgery, either by injecting anesthetic near the nerves that are connected to the specific area or through the use of an infusion pump. It does not cause the patient to go unconscious, but rather blocks sensation in the targeted region. Common types include epidural anesthesia, spinal anesthesia and nerve blocks.
