Analgesic Efficacy of Multiple Single-Shot Peripheral Nerve Blocks on Postoperative Short-Term Opioid Usage and Clinical Outcomes in a Suburban Hospital Setting.

Background: Preoperative single-shot peripheral nerve blocks (sPNBs) represent promising candidates for controlling postoperative pain, reducing dependence on opioid medications, and reducing postoperative constipation and ileus. However, there is not yet complete consensus regarding their efficacy. The primary aim of this study was to assess the impact of various sPNBs on patient short-term opioid demands and pain management parameters.
