It’s because they have the nerve block team most ER don’t have this for this massive amount of patients

Are we seriously going to pretend like this is cutting edge? This is great to keep a patient comfortable for a few hours and then they get out of the ER and the block wears off. Guess what that hip fracture patient will be getting then…. Narcotics.

And what are the people supposed to do after this nerve block wears off and they have a broken hip? I’ve had a broken hip Tylenol doesn’t cut it.

Cool, but as an RN I don’t think this is very practical in a busy ER. Also some pain is a good thing to prevent further injury.

Cool but then it doesn’t last. Then there is post op care and recovery for pain management. Can’t go every few hours to every day to get a nerve block. I have had them for surgeries and they are great but when it wears off the pain is intense

that's fine while they're being treated in the ER or in the hospital but what are they getting sent home with?

Nerve blocks for hip fractures are amazing. Opioids often won’t help and can make people nauseous and confused. Blocks and manage or eliminate pain until the pt can get into the OR.

Remind me never to go to this hospital if something major happens to me. I find it astounding that they will do anything outside of prescribe. Something that actually works and has worked for years.

This is great, but not novel. This has been standard for any practitioner that reads literature regularly.

This has been very successful for ortho surgeries also. My husband has rotator cuff and biceps tendon repair. His nerve block last 24 hours and only used a couple of pain pills on day 2 and 3 and have minimal discomfort.

So when the nerve block runs out in 24-48 hrs what is the patient to do for pain ?

Nerve blocks are not without risk of paralysis.

That must be an intense environment. Huge respect to all the healthcare workers on the frontlines.

Dottie Anderson :
there are serious risks involved with nerve blocks though. I've had them done and as a result of the doctor's incompetence and arrogance my nerve has been permanently damaged. I'd rather have doctors who are knowledgeable about to work with patients with complex health histories that include pain management with medication.

As long as it doesn’t cost us thousands of dollars for these “options” that are not covered by our insurance anybody would be ok with that

chronicallyethnic🇨🇰🇸🇮🍉 :
nerve blocks are appropriate for acute settings, but during post op, rehab post injury, going home, actually managing a condition are more complex and challenging. I don't understand why this is being sensationalized when worldwide we don't have nerve block teams at the ready to do this. I think it's a great tool amongst a variety of pain management tools and strategies that every single individual will need a unique combination of for best care and outcomes but making it a big deal to numb the area is a bit ridiculous. it's very standard for #hips to receive an epidural or nerve block too btw...

Wow!!!!🤯 nerve blocks in Er instead of a pain pill. That’s sad

bpsychedelic :
Hell no. Nerve blocks paralyze the area and wear off after about 3 hours. They can be extremely uncomfortable, especially in those who have sensory issues.
