[Wound infiltration with local anesthetics for postoperative analgesia. Results of a national survey about its practice in France].
Local wound infiltration is a component of multimodal postoperative (p.o.) analgesia. Its implementation in current clinical practice remains unknown. Pain and Regional Anesthesia Committee of the French Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Society (Sfar) aimed to appraise its practice. ⋯ The practice of local wound infiltration for p.o. analgesia seems presently well established, especially for single-shot injections. CWI is less commonly performed. Several surgical reluctances remain to be overcome. Better information about effectiveness and safety are likely to still improve their practices.
