| Summary: | Objective: This review aims to provide a synopsis of regional analgesic modalities in the intensive care unit (ICU) context and to evaluate existing literature regarding the benefits and limitations of performing these procedures in critically ill patients. Specifically, we review regional techniques in the setting of traumatic rib fractures and extremity fractures, thoracic surgery, major abdominal surgery, and cardiac surgery. We additionally discuss the limitations of clinical practice in performing regional anesthesia in the ICU setting. Overall, the current literature demonstrates promising benefits of regional analgesia in critically ill patients. However, more extensive high-powered studies are needed to determine optimal analgesic strategies in this tenuous population. |
