“…In most brachial plexus, femoral or popliteal sciatic blocks, it is likely that local anesthetic infiltration in the area will also block the sympathetic pathways that transmit ischemic pain. 41 Fine nuances in pain transmission then become academic, as most clinical blocks maintain the risk of masking ischemic pain. According to this theory, femoral nerve block with periarterial spread may block ischemic transmission and mask a lower leg ACS despite sparing the sciatic innervation of the affected compartments.…”

“…The risk, however, is that not all PNBs are purely somatic, which may confound the clinical examination. 4 In addition, their study was based on muscles in the gastrointestinal tract and the abdominal wall, 5 so it would be prudent to test this hypothesis in the appendicular skeleton. Furthermore, it is not only the masking of pain that confounds the clinical evaluation of compartment syndrome but also the masking of sensorimotor function.…”

“…Furthermore, ACS causes ischemic pain, which has been demonstrated to be carried on afferent sympathetic fibers, which run separately from peripheral nerves 2 ; thus, PNBs cannot block ischemic pain. 3,4 Although there is literature linking regional anesthesia with delayed diagnosis of ACS, the cases involved used epidural anesthesia. 5-7 Using these examples as justification to avoid PNBs is inappropriate because PNBs, unlike epidurals, do not provide afferent sympathetic blockade.…”
