With the increasing popularity of day case surgery it is important to ensure that safe and appropriate techniques are being used.

We retrospectively reviewed a large series of 732 patients who underwent planned day case hand surgery under intravenous regional anaesthesia (modified Bier's block) over a 5-year period.

We found a modified Bier's block to be ideally suited to day case surgery with no deaths, minimal morbidity and a success rate in excess of 98%.
