AB  - Trauma  is  the  leading  cause  of  death  in  those  aged  1–44  years  and  the  third  leading  cause  of  death  for  all  age  groups.1  Trauma  accounts  for  30%  of  all  life  years  lost  in  the  United  States—more  than  cancer,  heart  disease,  and  HIV  combined.1  The  economic  burden  of  trauma  exceeds  $400  billion  in  the  United  States  annually.  This  chapter  aims  to  discuss  the  role  of  regional  anesthesia  within  the  overall  framework  of  pain  management  in  trauma,  explore  several  examples  of  where  regional  anesthesia  may  affect  outcomes  in  specific  injuries,  and  briefly  address  the  issue  of  acute  compartment  syndrome  in  the  context  of  neuraxial  and  peripheral  nerve  blockade.
