Les cathéters nerveux périphériques, mode d'emploi

No additive consistently and predictably prolongs a single-injection nerve block beyond 24 hours, unlike a peripheral nerve catheter that can be used for several days. Despite multiple barriers, there is a growing interest in the use of continuous regional anesthesia for postoperative pain management. Continuous infusion of local anesthetics is consequently an integral part of postoperative analgesic protocols. The development of this technique needs to be supported by validated guidelines.
