Technology Review: Smart Connected Infusion Pump for Opioid-Sparing Regional Analgesia in Orthopedic Surgery

Thursday, November 13, 2025
11:20 AM - 11:28 AM CT
Introduction:

Opioid-sparing analgesia (OSA) reduces the morbidity associated with perioperative opioid exposure, which remains a major concern following orthopedic surgery, with persistent use reported in up to 26% of patients (1) . Continuous peripheral nerve blocks (cPNBs) have shown improved analgesia, shortened hospital stay, and reduced opioid reliance (1). Continuous PNB implementation in outpatients is limited by outdated infusion technology (2). Elastomeric pumps lack flow accuracy, while older electronic systems are increasingly prone to failures (3).
