Happy Monday, #blocktober friends! Today we discuss the femoral and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve blocks--we use these for lower limb trauma, ACL repair, and amputation, as well as the occasional complex TKA patient. How about you? #DukeRAP#RegionalAnesthesia#FOAMed
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
Here's our curated reading list for monitoring to prevent injury during peripheral nerve blockade #DukeRAP#blocktober
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
