Do you have a regional anesthesia program in place? We place regional nerve blocks in patients undergo- ing knee and shoulder replacements. Although hip replacement patients do not receive pre-op regional blocks, surgeons administer local anesthetics at the surgical site intraoperatively. Working with anesthe- sia providers who are expert in regional anesthesia techniques is key to performing joint replacements on an outpatient basis. Blocks minimize post-op pain with fewer opioids and limit the need for deep sedation during surgery. In addition, we use short- acting spinals, which limit risks of intraoperative bleeding and post-op nausea and vomiting. All these factors combine to help patients recover sooner. Can your facility handle the case load? One major limitation we faced in our busy surgery center was finding available block times for joint replacement cases.
