Article Synopsis
- Trauma patients in emergency departments often face intense pain, making pain management challenging due to conditions like acute compartment syndrome.
- This review aims to summarize recent literature and present current guidelines for safely using peripheral nerve blocks in these patients.
- Research suggests peripheral nerve blocks can be administered in at-risk patients, provided proper monitoring and specific precautions are followed.
A thorough literature search was done in PubMed and Google Scholar as well as in physical books in libraries to summarize the literature on the history and evolution of medicine and orthopedics. The philosophical ideas that emerged in ancient Greece served as a foundation for the development of medicine. In the 5th century BC, the schools of Knidos and Kos emerged as influential centers for the development of medical thinking.

- - Postoperative pain arises from inflammation due to surgical trauma and visceral pain from overly sensitive nerve receptors affected by conditions like distension and ischemia.
- - Research shows a significant connection between the gut microbiome and how we perceive pain, with surgical procedures and anesthesia disrupting this microbiome.
- - Restoring the microbiome with specific probiotic strains has shown promise in alleviating pain post-surgery, although each strain may have different effects on pain relief.
We present the first documented case of achieving surgical anesthesia for a vascular surgery using the suprainguinal approach of the fascia iliaca compartment block (SFICB), in a patient with severe comorbidities from the cardiovascular system. More specifically, a male elderly patient with a history of cardiac amyloidosis, severe aortic stenosis, and coronary artery disease, was in need of emergent thrombectomy due to acute lower limb ischemia. During the evaluation of this patient, general and neuraxial anesthesia were both considered.
