Outpatient Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block Program
Alberta Children's Hospital is the first hospital in Western Canada to have an Outpatient Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (CPNB) program. CPNB is a type of regional anesthesia. This is when we use a numbing medication to freeze one area of the body to help with pain after surgery.
If your surgeon has talked to you and your child about a nerve block for pain control after surgery, please review the following links to get more information so you are ready for the day of surgery:
