Adjuvant agents in regional anaesthesia
Abstract
Adjuvant agents are pharmacological drugs that, when co-administered with local anaesthetic agents, may improve the speed of onset, the quality and/or duration of analgesia. A wide range of drugs have been
assessed for both neuraxial and peripheral nerve blocks. Here, we review the adjuvants used in clinical practice in the UK and also briefly mention other drugs that have been used for neuraxial dministration and peripheral nerve blockade to provide perioperative analgesia.
