Findings from this quality of pain care study show that aggressive multimodal analgesia interventions by an APS in a CSH is associated with decreased pain intensity and increased pain relief.

Orogastric and nasogastric tubes are routinely inserted in anesthetized patients to both reduce the volume of stomach contents and decrease the incidence of postoperative nausea. We present a case of esophageal perforation and subsequent pneumothorax after insertion of an orogastric tube in a patient undergoing routine shoulder arthroscopy.

Overall, the majority of military health care survey responders indicated support for an APS team as part of a CSH care, and confirmed its contributions to improving trauma care.
