Background

Regional nerve block reduces the need for pain control medications, sedation and procedural sedation. When applying to emergency department setting it contributed to decreased length of ED stay, post-procedural observation period and also improve patient's satisfaction. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Newer ultrasound technology that comes with high-resolution image made ultrasound-guided nerve block, either alone or in combination with other methods to localise the nerve become more favourable due to more success rate comparing to the use of other methods alone. This technique can be utilised for both regional and peripheral nerve block. [7][8][9]

Indications

  • Anaesthesia for procedures commonly performed in the ED
    • Joint dislocation reduction
    • Fracture reduction
    • Wound care, i.e. large laceration repair
  • Analgesia especially for major pain, i.e. multiple ribs fractures, flail chest and femoral fracture.
