RESUMO
SUMMARY: This review demonstrates the technique for monitored anesthesia care and soft tissue infiltration with local anesthesia as the only form of anesthesia for short cephalomedullary nailing in medically complex patients. Monitored anesthesia care is defined as providing sedation and analgesia that is titrated to a level that preserves spontaneous breathing and airway reflexes. Soft tissue infiltration refers to soft tissue infiltration with local anesthesia directly into the surgical site and is performed by the surgeon before the start of the procedure.
