ObjectivesDemonstrate that continuous peripheral nerve block (CPNB) may be an alternative with adequate analgesia and a lower incidence of side effects for ischemic pain due peripheral obstructive arterial disease (POAD).MethodsRetrospective cohort study with 21 patients with POAD, Fontaine IV graded, with foot pain. Patients were submitted to continuous sciatic nerve block (CSNB), through a perineural catheter. Primary outcomes were pain intensity (by numerical rating scale) and opioid consumption (in oral morphine equivalents).ResultsDuring CSNB, pain scores markedly decreased in comparison to the pre-block period.ConclusionsCPNB may be a good option for ischemic pain treatment in in-patients, as it provides effective pain control with fewer adverse effects.Copyright © 2021 CLINICS.
