Abstract

Background : Managing anesthesia in high-risk patients with multiple comorbidities is a significant challenge, particularly when general anesthesia may increase perioperative risks. Peripheral nerve block offers a safer alternative by minimizing systemic involvement and avoiding complications associated with general anesthesia.Case Illustration : This case report presents a 68-year-old male with uncontrolled hypertension and a history of stroke who underwent surgery for a clavicle fracture. Due to the patient's cardiovascular and neurological risks, regional block anesthesia was chosen as the preferred technique. The approach allowed for stable perioperative management without complications.Conclusion : This case emphasizes the potential benefits of peripheral nerve block in high-risk surgical patients, offering a safer and effective alternative to general anesthesia.
