Abstract

An analysis of results of using conduction anesthesia for various operations on extremities of 274 patients of different age groups has been made. Complete effects were achieved in 91% of the patients, 5% of the patients were potentiated with neuroleptanalgesia drugs because of insufficient anesthesia, in 2% of the patients general anesthesia was used. The method of conduction anesthesia makes it possible to use a conveyer method of bringing patients to the operating room. It is more economical as compared with narcosis, easy in use. It may be recommended for wider use.
