Abstract
Summary
The past decade has seen a renewed interest in acute pain management as the development of epidural opioids and new technologies for the delivery of systemic analgesics (e.g., patient-controlled analgesia) has led to the creation of the anesthesiology based acute pain service in many hospitals. The availability of physicians familiar with the pharmacology and physiology of local anesthetics and acute pain has resulted in advances in the use of regional anesthesia techniques in the treatment of acute pain. The role of local anesthetic blocks as supplements to systemic analgesic administration is well established, and future studies are needed to confirm the reduction of pain-related morbidity and mortality.
