Popis: | Regional anesthesia plays a key role in the treatment of patients with orthopedic trauma. Trauma-induced pain can be in multiple locations, severe, and can predispose the patient to other morbidities. Additional complications as a result of the overdependence on opioids as a primary pain therapy that can be minimized or avoided with the use of regional anesthesia. Both neuraxial and peripheral regional techniques in patients with orthopedic trauma should be incorporated into the patient care plan and recognized as an essential therapeutic intervention in the overall treatment of this unique patient population. |
