Brief Summary

Peripheral nerve blocks are often used in anaesthesia. They can be used as the only method of anaesthesia during surgery or in combination with other methods, e.g., general anaesthesia and sedation. Moreover, peripheral nerve blocks are used to treat postoperative pain, alleviate pain in trauma patients, and for painful procedures. For a method to be clinically useful, it is essential to understand the factors contributing to high success rates. It is equally important to know the complications related to the method. Finally, it is essential to establish a robust learning system where the anesthesiologists can track their nerve block performance over time and compare it to high performers and general performance. Therefore, we aim to establish a prospective and ongoing database to gain insight into 1) Factors contributing to block quality, e.g., success rate and nerve block duration; 2) Frequencies and types of nerve injuries and bleeding complications associated with the block procedure; 3) Tracking of block performance by anaesthesiologists.
