Supervision of Section & Final Selection of Documents

ESRA Hellas Scientific & Research Committee

ESRA Hellas, in an effort to provide up to date information to its members, occasionally selects published guidelines that are available in international literature, on topics that are of interest to all anaesthesiologists, performing Regional Anaesthesia Techniques.

As such, below, one can find the latest knowledge and the current debate regarding decisions on fundamental RA issues.

The ESRA Hellas DIrectory Board is hoping that by this way will contribute to the safer RA practice all over the Greek Territory and will help young anaesthetist to solve their question or make evidence – based decisions.

ESRA Hellas Directory Board feels obliged to thank all those who were devoted to this task, did the literature survey and finally selected outstanding articles in english.
