Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 5
Abstract
Summary: Providing analgesia to military trauma patients in austere and hostile operating conditions with shortage of advance care facilities in front is very challenging. Our study aims to evaluate efficacy, safety and feasibility of Regional Block Analgesia (RBA) by first responders in war scenario.We found RBA to be simple, safe and effective with consistent results in the setting of military trauma when performed by first responders. In war, it’s of huge helpin management of battle casualties. It may be easily performed in war-scenario as well as primitive field conditions by a trained first responder. In developing countries out burdened with constraints of money, material and manpower, this technique can be used with safety, speed and precision. RBA ispriceless in permitting lifesaving operations in priority one victimsandalso providing analgesia to other neglected low priority patients.Weadvocate practice of RBA for military trauma patients by first responders at the field Hospital level.
