"Pain medicine and regional anesthesia
are becoming a larger and larger portion of anesthesia practice throughout
the world. At the same time there is increasing pressure to control the
practice of medicine based on cost rather than patient satisfaction or
outcome. It is imperative that we are aware of the existing data to support
our practices. We must continue to develop the knowledge needed to guide
our practice in the future. The result of this must be treatment regimens
that are based on reasonable outcomes so that we are not accused of practicing
on the basis of financial return alone. In addition, we must be able to
identify the outlines so that we do not try to treat individuals with
a regimen that will not work from the start" |
