Regional anesthesia - Definition Renders a specific area of the body, e.g. foot, arm, lower extremities insensating to stimulus of surgery or other instrumentation
Eliminates sensation in a limited region of the body
Interferes with impulse transmission in peripheral or spinal cord nerves
There is no loss of consciousness

Central Blocks: Spinal, Epidural
These blocks are also known neuroaxial anesthesiaPerforming as a single injection or with a catheter to allow intermittent boluses or continuous infusion

The principal site of action for central blocks is the nerve rootsInjecting local anesthetic into CSF or the epidural space

Anatomy of the vertebral column
Spinal cord and its nerve roots lie within the vertebral columnSpinal cord extends from the foramen magnum to level of L1 in adults and L3 in children

Local Anesthetics
Mechanism of action is by reversibly blocking sodium channels to prevent depolarizationAnesthetic enters on axioplasmic side and attaches to receptor in middle of channel
