Happy #Blocktober 24th! Let's talk parasternal blocks! Multiple names/approaches but essentially one deep and one superficial--both block the ant. cutaneous IC nerves, and benefit breast, cardiac & trauma patients. What are your thoughts on these? #DukeRAP #RegionalAnesthesia

And here's the video highlighting the anatomy and techniques for the two most common approaches to parasternal blocks: the pecto-intercostal fascial block (#PIFB) and the transversus thoracic plane block (#TTPB). Enjoy!

It's the 21st day of #Blocktober ! Today we discuss ways to stay out of trouble--and more specifically, out of the nerve. Needle-nerve contact is known to cause inflammation and injury, and we can use several monitors to prevent getting too close. #DukeRAP #RegionalAnesthesia

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

Here's our curated reading list for #serratus plane block #blocktober #DukeRAP #FOAMEd #RegionalAnesthesia
