“…Over the past decade, ultrasound-guided (USG) methods have become the standard for regional anesthesia techniques, providing additional benefits for ICU patients [22]. Especially when anatomically conditions are challenging due to tissue edema or suboptimal positioning, USG techniques are of inestimable value, especially when compared to nerve stimulation guidance, which might be attenuated due to neuromuscular weakness in critically ill patients [23].…”

Multi-modal analgesic strategies, including regional anesthesia techniques, have been shown to contribute to a reduction in the use of opioids and associated side effects in the perioperative setting. Consequently, those so-called multi-modal approaches are recommended and have become the state of the art in perioperative medicine. In the majority of intensive care units (ICUs), however, mono-modal opioid-based analgesic strategies are still the standard of care. The evidence guiding the application of regional anesthesia in the ICU is scarce because possible complications, especially associated with neuraxial regional anesthesia techniques, are often feared in critically ill patients. However, chest and abdominal wall analgesia in particular is often insufficiently treated by opioid-based analgesic regimes. This review summarizes the available evidence and gives recommendations for peripheral regional analgesia approaches as valuable complements in the repertoire of intensive care physicians’ analgesic portfolios.

“…When proper training is performed, ultrasonography can sway the pendulum towards better patient safety and satisfaction and overall decreased cost from complications (26). That being said, it should not be imposed on clinicians achieving similar results with landmarkbased techniques as long as the patient safety and satisfaction goals are maintained (30).…”

The field of medical technology has undergone significant advancements over the years, from the use of ancient scalpels, forceps, and sutures to complex devices like intraoperative MRI suites, artificial intelligence-enabled monitors, and robotic surgical systems. These advancements have had a profound impact on the way we diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases, and have significantly improved the quality of life for millions of people around the world. As we move forward, it is important to reflect on the direction of medical technology and consider the potential risks and benefits of new advancements. We must also ensure that these technologies are accessible to all and that they are used ethically and responsibly. There is still much to be discovered and developed in the field of medical technology, and it is up to us to ensure that we are moving in a positive direction that benefits everyone.
