Summary
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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
