[Outpatient treatment of acute injuries of upper extremities with axillary plexus anesthesia in the emergency department-Is that possible without continuous anesthesia attendance?]

CONCLUSION: It could be demonstrated that minor surgery could be carried out safely and effectively with a defined algorithm using ABPB in selected patients outside the OR without permanent anesthesia attendance: however, indispensable prerequisites for such procedures are careful patient selection, patient compliance, the safe and effective performance of the ABPB and reliable agreement with the surgeon.
