Yo yo, it's the 19th of #blocktober, and that means rectus sheath blocks! This old school technique has enjoyed a resurgence and is now part of some of our ERAS pathways for abdominal cases with midline incisions. Also a fave for urgent ex-laps when TEA contraindicated. #DukeRAP
Here's our curated reading list for rectus sheath block!
It's the 15th day of #blocktober! Today we're discussing ultrasound guided blocks of the nerves in the distal upper extremity: median, ulnar and radial. Great for hand surgery and also as a rescue block. What are you using these for? Enjoy! #DukeRAP#RegionalAnesthesia#FOAMEd
Good morning #blocktober friends! Today we'll discuss the serratus plane block, another fascial plane block of the chest wall that we primarily use for rib fractures, but also has utility for a variety of other chest wall procedures. #DukeRAP#RegionalAnesthesia#FOAMEd
