Résumé

Regional anesthesia (RA) is often perceived to be more environmentally sustainable than alternative forms of anesthesia. Nevertheless, the principles of sustainable RA remain ill-defined in the presence of variability of resource utilization within RA practice. Many infection prevention practices are based on low-level evidence, and recommendations vary internationally. We sought to conduct an evidence review and Delphi consensus study to provide guidance on aspects that lack high-quality evidence in RA practice to reconcile responsible resource stewardship and infection prevention in RA.
