Duke's regional anesthesiologists offer expert anesthesia for patients undergoing total joint replacement, adult and pediatric spinal surgery, advanced plastic surgery, and orthopaedic trauma surgery.
Acute pain services are also offered at Duke North through the regional anesthesiology department.
Regional anesthesia numbs only one large part of the body, which allows for a faster, more comfortable recovery.
Treatment
Our regional anesthesiologists use innovative techniques to provide patients with the safest, most reliable regional anesthesia before, during, and after surgery.
We are trained to deliver state-of-the-art neuraxial and peripheral nerve blocks,
using ultrasound to guide the placement of the central venous lines and
peripheral nerve blocks.
Whenever possible, we offer all joint replacement patients a form of
continuous regional anesthesia that extends pain management into the
postoperative period. The use of these techniques leads to improved
pain control and reduced opioid requirements.
Research
Part of our mission is to develop and utilize new technologies in the field of regional anesthesia. We continue to investigate new peripheral block stimulating catheters to increase the success rate for our patients.
