This. Spinal and locoregional anaesthesia could support increased surgical volume more safely in resource poor settings. This could also include rural areas in developed countries - @ACRRM @ESRA_Society #ESRA2025 now!
To meet the global surgical burden, the volume and availability of elective surgery must be increased safely. Locoregional and spinal anaesthesia could be adopted as safe options to increase surgical volume when there is limited access to general anaesthesia. @DrJamesGlasbey #anaesthesia #MedTwitter doi.org/10.1111/anae.16686
