They do, however, mandate 60 min post-block observation in ED to check for signs of local anaesthetic toxicity. Objectives of this study were to evaluate whether delivery of a nerve block prolonged the time patients spent in the department (primary outcome) and whether need for additional ...
FICB was performed in 100% along with PENG block in 40%. Pain scores across the first 96 hours post-PNB are displayed in figure 1. During the hospital course, 40% of patients required opioid prior to PNB, and thereafter it had been reduced to 5%, 15%, 0% 15% and 15% in ...
