The present manuscript aims to review the evidence available on regional anesthesia for patients with COVID-19 and offer practical recommendations for safe and efficient performance. Therefore, when faced with the decision on which anesthetic technique is the most appropriate and safe for confirmed or suspected patients of COVID-19, judicial investigation of neurological symptoms potentially present is mandatory, equally to what is done for the pulmonary and cardiovascular symptoms common in these patients [19] In this way, we can come across cases in which distinguishing post-dural puncture headache and headache due to SARS-CoV-2 infection is difficult. Despite the recommendation favorable to wearing a surgical mask when in contact with patients with COVID-19 in short and not aerosol-generating procedures, [27] the possibility of block failures, need for ventilatory care or conversion to general anesthesia should be considered. ./cache/cord-339504-8svo2w3u.txt ./txt/cord-339504-8svo2w3u.txt
