Dr. Satyendra Meena, MBBS, is an emergency medicine physician currently advancing through his third year of post-graduate training at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. His primary interests encompass nerve blocks, high altitude emergencies and emergency care in remote settings.
He envisions a future for emergency departments where patient pain management is significantly enhanced. Recognizing the limitations of conventional drug therapies, he advocates for the regular use of nerve blocks as a potential alternative to high-potency opioids. He has actively participated in several trials comparing the safety and efficacy of nerve blocks versus opioids, and has presented his findings at various seminars focusing on their relevance in emergency care.
