Superficial or deep cervical plexus block for carotid endarterectomy: a systematic review of complications.

abstract：:Sickle cell disease is a congenital haemoglobinopathy with a high incidence of perioperative complications. Traditional anaesthetic management, based largely on extrapolation from biochemical models, has emphasized avoidance of red cell sickling to prevent exacerbations of the disease. This historical review outlines ...
