Regional Analgesia in Trauma

• Reduce pain by numbing a targeted area of the body with local anesthetics
• Single shot, or ongoing infusion of local anesthetic via a peripheral nerve or neuraxial catheter
• Commonly used medications: bupivacaine or ropivacaine 
• Many children will need sedation for placement of the nerve block
