Practice and challenges related to regional anesthesia in Amhara regional hospitals, Northwest-Ethiopia: a web-based survey study

The principal findings indicate that all respondents perform spinal anaesthesia, while the practice of peripheral RA varies. Reported barriers to performing RA are related to knowledge and training, as well as a lack of equipment (there aren't enough regional procedure kits available that include an epidural set, block needle, nerve stimulator, and ultrasound). A more stringent approach with specific requirements, distinguishing between neuraxial and peripheral blocks, enhance training opportunities for peripheral nerve blocks are required in Ethiopia.

Abstract

The principal findings indicate that all respondents perform spinal anaesthesia, while the practice of peripheral RA varies. Reported barriers to performing RA are related to knowledge and training, as well as a lack of equipment (there aren't enough regional procedure kits available that include an epidural set, block needle, nerve stimulator, and ultrasound). A more stringent approach with specific requirements, distinguishing between neuraxial and peripheral blocks, enhance training opportunities for peripheral nerve blocks are required in Ethiopia.
