Clinical guidelines for the practice of peripheral nerve blocks in the adult.
Acta Anaesthesiol Belg
March 2014
These guidelines, made by BARA, are, like the "Safety First Guidelines" of the SARB, clinical recomendations for a good and safe practice when performing peripheral nerve blocks (PNB).

The guidelines deal with "Informed Consent", preoperative visit, monitoring, equipment and the PNB procedure itself regardless of using ultrasound or neurostimultion or both.
