Özet
Multi-modal analgesic strategies, including regional anesthesia techniques, have been shown to contribute to a reduction in the use of opioids and associated side effects in the perioperative setting. Consequently, those so-called multi-modal approaches are recommended and have become the state of the art in perioperative medicine. In the majority of intensive care units (ICUs), however, mono-modal opioid-based analgesic strategies are still the standard of care. The evidence guiding the application of regional anesthesia in the ICU is scarce because possible complications, especially associated with neuraxial regional anesthesia techniques, are often feared in critically ill patients. However, chest and abdominal wall analgesia in particular is often insufficiently treated by opioid-based analgesic regimes. This review summarizes the available evidence and gives recommendations for peripheral regional analgesia approaches as valuable complements in the repertoire of intensive care physicians’ analgesic portfolios.
