TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 14. Anesthesia—Local and Regional A1 - Iserson, Kenneth V. PY - 2012 T2 - Improvised Medicine: Providing Care in Extreme Environments AB - When the equipment and the experienced personnel to give deep sedation or general anesthesia are not available, local and regional anesthetic techniques should be used. As one experienced anesthesiologist wrote, "We must assume that supplies of compressed gases will soon run out and replacements will be unobtainable. This leaves us with local techniques, spinal and epidural analgesia, all of which can be given by the surgeon in the absence of a trained anesthetist."1 SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=57373226 ER -
