Pain management in multiple trauma patients presents a complex clinical challenge due to competing priorities such as hemodynamic instability, polypharmacy, coagulopathy, and the urgency of life-saving interventions. In this context, peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) are increasingly recognized as a valuable asset for their role in managing pain in patients with multiple traumatic injuries. By reducing reliance on systemic opioids, PNBs support effective pain control and facilitate early mobilization, aligning with enhanced recovery principles. This narrative review summarizes current evidence on the use of PNBs in the context of polytrauma, focusing on their analgesic efficacy, integration within multimodal analgesia protocols, and contribution to improved functional outcomes. Despite these advantages, clinical application is limited by specific concerns, including the potential to mask compartment syndrome, the risk of nerve injury or local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST), and logistical barriers in acute trauma settings. Emerging directions in the field include the refinement of ultrasound-guided PNB techniques, the expanded use of continuous catheter systems, and the incorporation of fascial plane blocks for anatomically complex or multisite trauma. Parallel efforts are focusing on the development of decision-making algorithms, improved risk stratification tools, and integration into multimodal analgesic pathways. There is also growing emphasis on standardized clinical protocols, simulation-based training, and patient education to enhance safety and consistency in practice. As evidence continues to evolve, the long-term impact of PNBs on functional recovery, quality of life, and healthcare utilization must be further explored. With thoughtful implementation, structured training, and institutional support, PNBs may evolve into a cornerstone of modern trauma analgesia.
由于存在诸如血流动力学不稳定、多种药物联合使用、凝血病以及挽救生命干预措施的紧迫性等相互竞争的优先事项,多发伤患者的疼痛管理面临着复杂的临床挑战。在这种情况下,外周神经阻滞(PNB)因其在多发伤患者疼痛管理中的作用而日益被视为一项宝贵的手段。通过减少对全身性阿片类药物的依赖,PNB有助于有效控制疼痛并促进早期活动,符合加速康复原则。本叙述性综述总结了当前关于在多发伤背景下使用PNB的证据,重点关注其镇痛效果、在多模式镇痛方案中的整合以及对改善功能结局的贡献。尽管有这些优势,但临床应用受到一些特定问题的限制,包括可能掩盖骨筋膜室综合征、神经损伤或局部麻醉药全身毒性(LAST)的风险,以及急性创伤环境中的后勤障碍。该领域的新兴方向包括改进超声引导下的PNB技术、扩大连续导管系统的使用,以及将筋膜平面阻滞应用于解剖结构复杂或多部位创伤。同时,人们也在致力于开发决策算法、改进风险分层工具,并将其整合到多模式镇痛途径中。此外,越来越强调标准化临床方案、基于模拟的培训以及患者教育,以提高实践中的安全性和一致性。随着证据不断发展,必须进一步探索PNB对功能恢复、生活质量和医疗资源利用的长期影响。通过深思熟虑的实施、结构化培训和机构支持,PNB可能会成为现代创伤镇痛的基石。
