Abstract

Pain management in the Emergency Department is essential in management of trauma cases as well as improvements in patient satisfaction (Sepahvand et al., 2019). Indications of nerve blocks in the emergency department are numerous however the focus lies on facilitating emergency interventions (eg CMR, wound irrigation) and for therapeutic interventions (eg. hypoventilation in a flail chest) (Malik et al., 2022).
