ملخص
Regional blocks provide adequate analgesia in trauma patients. The aim of this study was to review the current practice of emergency department physicians in the use of regional blocks.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted among emergency department physicians and anesthesiologists. The response rate was 100% (n = 107). 79% (n = 57) of the anesthesiologists were found to provide regional blocks however, 48.5% (n = 17) of emergency physicians administer local blocks. Only 2.8% of emergency physicians held a formal qualification in regional anesthesia.
There is a need to train ED physicians in regional blocks so that the pain in trauma patients can be managed early.
