Claims of peripheral nerve blocks delaying acute compartment syndrome diagnosis “are often unjust or inaccurate”.
Conversely, patients experiencing pain with working blocks may aid earlier diagnosis.

23 cases of epidurals being blamed for masking acute compartment syndrome pain. In 19 of these, the patients complained of pain but were ignored.

There is clinical tension between use of regional anaesthesia and risk of masking compartment syndrome. The evidence base is lacking.

The traditional clinical signs and symptoms of acute compartment syndrome are not great for making a diagnosis.
Use compartment pressure monitoring.

Older rib fracture management guidelines did not have anaesthesia or pain physician input, and were based on studies that were difficult to interpret.

A/Prof Nadia Hernandez - anterior approach to suprascapular nerve & axillary nerve - it works, knowing the sonoanatomy and is safe - why wait for the literature evidence if patient is comfortable.
