It's Day 2 of #blocktober ! Thanks for the amazing engagement yesterday!! Today we're drilling down on the adductor canal block and how best to maximize efficacy and safety. Our technique has changed over the years..has yours? #DukeRAP#FOAMed#MedEd#Regionalanesthesia
Here are some articles on the anatomy of the adductor canal at the mid-thigh + the vastoadductor membrane and its role in separating the two nerves.
And here's a video where we share our thoughts on how to: A) not injure the nerve to vastus medialis and B) make sure we block it effectively when performing adductor canal blocks. #DukeRAP#Blocktober

Yo yo, it’s the 4th of #Blocktober24 and today we’re going to talk about airway blocks! What? Yes, we’re blocking the airway for awake intubations today. Come along on a funky airway journey with us.. @Duke_Anesthesia @amit_pawa @EMARIANOMD @fuzzymittens @EM_RESUS
@Duke_Anesthesia @amit_pawa @EMARIANOMD @fuzzymittens @EM_RESUS @Assoc_Anaes @ASRA_Society @ESRA_Society @dasairway @dastrainees @Wilkinsonjonny @rosie_hogg @LloydTurbitt @RCoANews @Ron_George I’ve seen my share of poorly done awake airways. It’s painful and often unsafe. The key is excellent airway anesthesia. Like, the kind where you don’t need any sedation. #Blocktober24 @morefluids @mswami001 @curromir @emilysharpe @dr_melissabyrne @claralexlobo @bobfunn

That’s time I don’t have when a patient is in extremis. #Blocktober24 @OBsleepmerchant @Steve_Coppens @ajrmacfarlane @RegionalAnaesUK @saraamaralMD
