    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Pain Management
    • Surgical Procedures

    Background:

    • Ischemic gangrene of the foot causes severe pain and necessitates amputation.
    • Effective pain management and regional anesthesia are crucial for patient comfort and surgical outcomes.
    • Continuous nerve blocks offer prolonged analgesia and anesthesia.

    Observation:

    • A technique for continuous sciatic nerve block was employed.
    • The method was utilized for pain relief in a patient with ischemic gangrene.
    • The block provided pain relief for two days prior to surgery.

    Findings:

    • Continuous sciatic nerve block effectively relieved ischemic foot pain.
    • Combined with continuous inguinal paravascular block, it provided comprehensive regional anesthesia.
