AbstractMedical and surgical treatment of the trauma patient has evolved in the last decade. Treatment of pain from multiple fractures or injured organs and surgical anesthesia with regional anesthesia techniques have been used to reduce post-traumatic stress disorder and reduce the adverse effects of general anesthesia. Neuraxial blocks and peripheral nerve block techniques should be practiced by trained emergency and operatory room staff. This article reviews recent publications related to the role of regional anesthesia in trauma patients in the prehospital, emergency, and operatory room settings. It also describes indications, limitations, and practical aspects of regional anesthesia.
