Key result
The authors argue that a dedicated acute interventional pain service using continuous peripheral neural blockade provides superior postoperative analgesia for total knee arthroplasty.

A dedicated acute pain service utilizing continuous peripheral neural blockade is advocated for optimal postoperative analgesia following total knee arthroplasty.
Ben-David et al. (2004) conducted a letter in Postoperative pain following total knee arthroplasty. Continuous peripheral neural blockade (CPNB) vs. Single shot block or local anesthetic wound infusion was evaluated. The authors argue that a dedicated acute interventional pain service using continuous peripheral neural blockade provides superior postoperative analgesia for total knee arthroplasty.
