Neuraxial blockade is local anaesthesia placed around the nerves of the central nervous system, and covers spinal anaesthesia, caudal anaesthesia, epidural anaesthesia, and combined spinal and epidural anaesthesia. It is used across surgery, in obstetric care for labor and pregnancy related pain, and to manage both acute postoperative pain and chronic pain, and is established practice within anesthesiology supported by a substantial body of medical literature and professional guidance.
