Summary
The goal of the RAPID study is to fundamentally transform the way serious injuries are
managed after earthquakes and other disasters by introducing a novel and cost-effective
method for pain control. The study will enroll patients in the aftermath of a major
earthquake to determine whether regional anesthesia, either with or without
ultrasound-guidance, can reduce suffering from lower limb injuries, the most common
earthquake-related injury, above and beyond the current standard of care for pain control in
these settings.
