Regional anaesthesia techniques are a part of perioperative medicine that affects both perioperative and long-term outcomes. We have a paucity of the data on the usage and practices of plexus and peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first effort to validate a survey for plexus and PNBs. Subsequently, this questionnaire could be used for the survey to look for the trends and disparities in PNB practices and further to develop a national registry in the future.
