Description

Emily Hancin, Purvi Patel, and Tanya Egodage review in 2026 how trauma teams can ease pain while sparing opioids. Heavy opioid use after injury brings breathing depression, delirium, and the risk of long use after discharge. Modern pathways instead stack several gentler methods at once.

The review covers spine and trunk nerve blocks, other regional techniques, and non-opioid drugs as parts of one plan. Together they cut opioid exposure and support early walking and recovery. The authors urge folding these methods into standard trauma and perioperative pathways so the benefits reach injured and critically ill patients by default.
