St. George’s University Hospital is a tertiary referral centre for complex vascular surgery. The main aim of the study is to improve the pain management of vascular patients presenting for lower limb amputation, thereby improving the patient’s satisfaction and experience during their stay in the hospital. Our aim is to place a sciatic nerve catheter for all the patients having a lower limb amputation and their pain score should be ≤ 2 in our trust pain scale during the first 72 hours.
