Here is Number 5

Available here- pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15277930/

The purpose of this study was to determine whether either regional anesthesia (RA) or general anesthesia (GA) provided the best analgesia with the fewest adverse effects up to 2 weeks after ambulatory hand surgery. ImageImageImage
Tell Us @colinjmccartney - why did this make the “Cut”?

This was a really great study comparing these two techniques for #regionalanaesthesia

@colinjmccartney - why did this one make your top five?

Meanwhile folks- register your place for #RAUKISURA22 here

The final instalment and number 1 paper in #McCartneysFavouriteFive is this paper which examined the incidence of phrenic nerve palsy with a low-volume ISBPB compared with a standard-volume technique both guided by ultrasound. bjanaesthesia.org/article/S0007-…

So I was wondering today, as an eternal student, a regional anaesthetist,and Past @RegionalAnaesUK president - what would make me want to attend #RAUKISURA22 on the 5-7th May 2002 in Edinburgh? So - Here Comes a mini thread!
@RegionalAnaesUK has been working hard to change the way we deliver education in #RegionalAnaesthesia
Check out some of highlights from #RAUK19 in Belfast organised by @LloydTurbitt @rosie_hogg @PeterMerjavy @davejohnston24 & Mike Jones ra-ukmeetings.com/past-events
The Belfast meeting was the first time we used on stage symposia to bring an engaging feel to the event, & the first time we had such a North American & Canadian presence at our meeting + #POCUS with @KiJinnChin , @shaskinsMD , @SLKoppMD, @JanBoublikMDPhD

Looking forward to #POCUS webinar with @ASRA_Society with @jattarab @KalagaraHari @dr_melissabyrne and team!
@dr_melissabyrne first up on cardiac US.
When Learning a new technique...
1. Set realistic goals for learning
2. Improve workflow efficiency
3. Scan based on pathology

Use the 4W approach
When to apply pocus
Where to place probe

I love regional anaesthesia and working with surgeons, & am also sad that I have finished Schitt’s Creek. Here is a thread of experiences as a regional anaesthetist..

The reaction of a new surgeon the first time you state you’d like to site a nerve block... for a trauma patient
The reaction of the anaesthetist when the surgeon states that blocks will slow the list down, and “The operation isn’t that painful anyway”
The activity in the anaesthetic room when we get the “go ahead” to put a nerve block in a patient- “as long as it’s quick and it works”

In the run up to #RAUK21 -5-6th May 2021 ,& to introduce some of the many publications of our Bruce Scott Lecturer @EMARIANOMD - I thought I’d start tweeting 10 of his papers to get you inspired about #RegionalAnaesthesia #RegionalAnesthesia - I’ll add them all to this thread...
In the first of 10 of @EMARIANOMD‘s papers, lets start by looking at this one on Continuous interscalene brachial plexus block via an ultrasound-guided Posterior approach #RAUK21 #MarianoTopTen 1/10

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1937235…

insights.ovid.com/anesthesia-ana…
The second of 10 of @EMARIANOMD’s papers is on #PedAnes! This paper is on the Feasibility of ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block catheters for pain control on pediatric medical missions in developing countries. #RAUK21 #MarianoTopTen 2/10

So here is a quick thread about the #PlanABlocks from @RegionalAnaesUK that feature in the tweet below - I feature links to the RA-UK book chapter 📖, Video 🎥 & Posters in the thread below...
The concept came from an excellent editorial from @LloydTurbitt , @EMARIANOMD & @elboghdadly

One of the key points of the editorial was to focus on a small number of high-value blocks, and to train everyone in them, and then implement into pathways👇🏼

…-publications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/an…
The First of these blocks is the Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block

A lesson in keeping it simple- or as @glauncel says - KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid!

1/5
So - a member of the Pawa household dropped a plastic cap down the shower drainage hole by accident- see exhibit A below 👇🏼
2/5 Unfortunately- the shower was now unusable - a big deal for us all!
So - as someone who had been using a fibrescope on ICU recently, I had a great idea! I used my Amazon prime account and ordered a Wifi transmitting portable endoscope to get down the drain - exhibit B👇🏼
3/5 As a frustrated wanna-be surgeon (joking!) I was delighted when I inserted the endoscope, and through the gross “drain waste” , I could see the cap!

All that remained was for me to extract it with the selection of hooks provided.
After 45 mins, and Sore knees - we aborted!
