Since the introduction of cocaine in 1884, regional nerve block procedures have been used in anesthesia practice for over 100 years. While almost all medical specialties use simple regional anesthesia techniques, anesthesia providers use a wider variety of more specific nerve block techniques than any other speciality. Anesthesiologists have assumed a vital role in recent military conflicts and, together with surgeons and emergency physicians, have introduced regional anesthesia techniques for the treatment and transport of injured soldiers. While such techniques have only been applied to a limited extent in civilian emergency settings, it is likely that current military experience will enhance future use of regional anesthesia techniques for the care of trauma patients in the civilian prehospital and emergency room settings.
自 1884 年可卡因问世以来，区域神经阻滞技术已在麻醉实践中应用了 100 多年。虽然几乎所有医学专业都使用简单的区域麻醉技术，但麻醉提供者使用的更具体的神经阻滞技术比任何其他专业都要广泛。麻醉师在最近的军事冲突中发挥了至关重要的作用，他们与外科医生和急诊医生一起，为治疗和运送受伤士兵引入了区域麻醉技术。虽然这些技术在民用急救环境中仅得到有限应用，但目前的军事经验很可能会增强未来在民用创伤前和急诊室环境中使用区域麻醉技术来治疗创伤患者的应用。
