Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Peripheral nerve catheters are being used increasingly to manage acute pain. Whilst acknowledged as effective, their broader implications for patient outcome are less clear. In this case report, we describe the way in which not only was the pain management of an ischaemic leg successful via a sciatic nerve catheter, but decision-making around this strategy affected outcome.
