'''Specfic Nerve Blocks''' are used when a particular region needs to be anaesthetised. It can be considered a regional block as often will block out a large region and commonly used in standing surgeries in larga animals. It is similar to [[Local Infiltration|infiltration]] methods but involves full thickness soft tissue including the nerves running through that region. Also, it can be produced by blocking the sensory nerve and nerve conduction that supplies the site.

*Agents cannot pass over fascial sheet so if nerve is seperated by fascia then it may not be blocked.
