Abstract:

Regional anesthesia has become the primary anesthetic technique in management of trauma cases and is reported to have several advantages over general anesthesia. However, it is contraindicated in the presence of conditions associated with coagulopathy e.g. disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). While sepsis and trauma are more common causes of DIC, physicians must also be aware of rare causes like haematological malignancy.
