So far, there are no guidelines available dealing with indications and limitations of regional anesthetic procedures in these patients. The complication rate is rare but potentially disastrous. However, the technique itself cannot be regarded as absolute contraindication for immunosuppressed patients if precautions are taken. An interdisciplinary approach regarding the indication of regional anesthesia techniques in immunosuppressed patients is recommended. Efforts must therefore be made to achieve an interdisciplinary consensus with relevant risk-benefit considerations.
