Continuous peripheral nerve blocks (CPNB) offer effective pain and surgical management for combat casualties. This case study details the first successful battlefield application of CPNB during casualty evacuation.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Continuous peripheral nerve block (CPNB) is a regional anesthesia technique with potential applications in combat medicine.
  • Effective pain and surgical management are critical for combat casualties during evacuation.

Observation:

  • This report details the first documented use of CPNB for a combat casualty.
  • The CPNB was utilized for both pain and surgical management during the patient's evacuation from Iraq to the United States.

Findings:

  • Continuous peripheral nerve block provided successful anesthesia and analgesia for a combat casualty.
  • The technique facilitated effective pain and surgical management throughout the evacuation process.

Implications:
