“…This experience, as well as the work of early military anesthesiologists who demonstrated the positive aspects of RA in previous conflicts [14], led to the placement of the first CPNB catheter in an American soldier on October 7, 2003, in Balad, Iraq [15]. Many patients' pain has been managed with CPNB following this initial success and, with assistance from the Military Advanced Regional Anesthesia and Analgesia (MARAA) committee established in 2005, the CPNB infusion pump was subsequently approved for in-flight use.…”

Abstract-Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and OperationIraqi Freedom (OIF) have resulted in a growing number of seriously injured soldiers who are evacuated to the United States for comprehensive medical care. Trauma-related pain is an almost universal problem among these war-injured soldiers, and several military and Department of Veterans Affairs initiatives have been implemented to enhance pain care across the continuum of medical services. This article describes several innovative approaches for improving the pain care provided to OEF and OIF military personnel during acute stabilization, transport, medical-surgical treatment, and rehabilitation and presents summary data characterizing the soldiers, pain management services provided, and associated outcomes. We also identify some of the pain assessment, classification, and treatment challenges emerging from work with this population and provide recommendations for future research and practice priorities.

“…In this category, SA and epidural anaesthesia were most commonly used. In recent years RA techniques have been exploited to their full advantages for anaesthesia and evacuation of battle field trauma patients [4,5]. Use of RA in out patient setting has also been found to be an attractive option [6].…”

“…Alongside opioids, ketamine, antidepressants and anxiolytics, there is increasing use of regional analgesics (peripheral nerve block infusions or epidurals). 28 These allow pain to be well managed, without compromising respiratory function or risking other systemic side effects. 28 Many high-income civilian physicians are adopting this method for vulnerable patients such as the elderly with orthopaedic injuries and multiple comorbidities.…”

Lessons learned from the casualties of war: battlefield medicine and its implication for global trauma care

SummaryAccording to the Global Burden of Disease, trauma is now responsible for five million deaths each year. High-income countries have made great strides in reducing traumarelated mortality figures but low-middle-income countries have been left behind with high trauma-related fatality rates, primarily in the younger population. Much of the progress high-income countries have made in managing trauma rests on advances developed in their armed forces. This analysis looks at the recent advances in high-income military trauma systems and the potential transferability of those developments to the civilian health systems particularly in lowmiddle-income countries. It also evaluates some potential lifesaving trauma management techniques, proven effective in the military, and the barriers preventing these from being implemented in civilian settings.
