Abstract

Regional anesthesia has become the cornerstone of perioperative pain management in modern surgical practice. The use of peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) has become more widespread in recent years due to higher patient satisfaction, decreased opioid consumption and associated reduction in side effects, early hospital discharge, and advances in ultrasound technology.[1] For decades, extending the duration of sensory block for analgesia has been an appealing idea for regional anesthesiologists. Commonly used strategies include continuous catheter techniques, perineural adjuvants, and sustained-release local anesthetic (LA) molecules.[2]
