Abstract
Wide-awake hand surgery is both safe and effective for a multitude of common hand surgical procedures.
Wide-awake hand surgery provides the advantages of convenience and cost savings by avoiding preoperative testing and clearances and intraoperative anesthesia.
The use of epinephrine as a vasoconstrictive agent is considered safe.
Phentolamine can be used as a reversal agent in the event of an adverse reaction to epinephrine. Other agents, such as phenoxybenzamine and terbutaline, can also be utilized.
Patients undergoing wide-awake hand surgery have improved satisfaction and decreased pain.
