Key result
Continuous peripheral nerve block provided effective pain control and significant vasodilation, improving peripheral circulation in a 7-month-old child with severe sepsis-induced ischemia.
Why the study?
Does continuous peripheral nerve block improve peripheral circulation and pain control in a pediatric patient with ischemic limbs due to severe sepsis?
Case Report (n=1)
Does continuous peripheral nerve block improve peripheral circulation and pain control in a pediatric patient with ischemic limbs due to severe sepsis?
Continuous peripheral nerve block may improve peripheral circulation and provide effective pain control in pediatric patients with ischemic limbs due to severe sepsis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support continuous peripheral nerve block for pediatric septic ischemia; hypothesis-generating case report requiring prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Vicchio et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome and severe sepsis with peripheral ischemia (n=1). Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (CPNB) was evaluated on Peripheral circulation and pain control. Continuous peripheral nerve block provided effective pain control and significant vasodilation, improving peripheral circulation in a 7-month-old child with severe sepsis-induced ischemia.
