Which block is used in hand surgery?
It depends on the type of hand surgery you are having. At times, the surgery can be performed with sedation and local anesthetic infiltration by the surgeon. However, if there will be a significant amount of pain and discomfort after surgery, the surgeon will request a regional anesthetic block which can be performed in a variety of ways. You should ask your surgeon what you will need for the surgery and speak with the anesthesiologist before your surgery so that you will have an idea of what type of anesthesia you will receive.

Can you have general anesthesia with an irregular heartbeat?
Yes, you can. However, your cardiologist should make sure that your heart is healthy before getting any anesthetic. They will likely do some tests to determine how well your heart functions. This should be done before you receive anesthesia. READ MORE
