Abstract
in English, German

Regional anesthesia of the upper extremities is now part of the standard repertoire of a clinical anesthesiologist. Assigning the correct procedure to the individual needs of the patient is becoming increasingly more difficult due to the wide variety of options. The principle use of regional anesthesiological procedures is hardly ever questioned anymore but it needs to be carefully considered and must be adapted exactly to the case at hand.

Regionalanästhesien der oberen Extremität gehören mittlerweile zum Standardrepertoire eines klinisch tätigen Anästhesisten. Das korrekte Verfahren den individuellen Bedürfnissen des Patienten zuzuordnen wird durch die Vielfalt der Möglichkeiten immer schwieriger. Die grundsätzliche Verwendung von regionalanästhesiologischen Verfahren wird mittlerweile kaum noch in Frage gestellt, bedarf aber der dezidierten Güterabwägung und muss genau auf den vorliegenden Fall angepasst werden.
