OBJECTIVES: Forearm fractures are among the most common pediatric injuries. Procedural sedation is frequently used for analgesia during fracture reduction but requires a prolonged recovery period and can be associated with adverse events. Bier block is a safe alternative for fracture reduction analgesia. This study sought to compare Bier block and procedural sedation for forearm fracture reduction.
METHODS: We performed a retrospective study of patients aged 6 to 18 years, presenting with forearm fractures requiring closed reduction from June 2012 to March 2014. Outcomes assessed were emergency department length of stay, reduction success rates, adverse events, and unscheduled return visits.
RESULTS: Overall, 274 patients were included (Bier block, n = 109; procedural sedation, n = 165). Mean length of stay was 82 minutes shorter for Bier block patients (279 vs 361 minutes, P < 0.001). Subanalysis revealed a reduced length of stay among Bier block patients with forearm fractures involving a single bone (286 vs 388 minutes, P < 0.001) and both bones (259 vs 321 minutes, P < 0.05). Reduction success did not differ between Bier block and procedural sedation (98.2% vs 97.6%, P = 0.74). There were no major adverse events in either group, but Bier block patients experienced fewer minor adverse events (2.7% vs 14.5%, P < 0.001). Return visit rates were similar between Bier block and procedural sedation (17.6% vs 16.9%, P = 0.92).
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with procedural sedation, forearm fracture reduction performed with Bier block was associated with a reduced emergency department length of stay and fewer adverse events, with no differences in reduction success or return visits.
