Podcast 603: Don't Sedate. Block.

Podcast 603: Don't Sedate. Block.

Contributor: Don Stader, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Fractures and dislocations that require reduction do not necessarily require sedation
  • Nerve blocks are an effective alternative that can provide analgesia to reduce fractures and dislocations and provide sustained pain relief after the reduction is completed
  • Hematoma blocks are effective for distal radius and various ankle fractures
  • Shoulder dislocations can be reduced by performing a scapular nerve block
