Pravin Dahal. Launceston General Hospital.

Thoraco-abdominal plane blocks.

Oooh starts with a menti poll!

#ACE22TAS

(oh god how can I listen, tweet and menti poll .... thank god for coffee and treats and chats at the break ...)

#ACE22TAS

I feel all the regional anaesthetist of Twitter here with Pravin Dahal as he extols the virtues of the erector spinae block, and his tips and tricks.

#ACE22TAS

(After nudging Adam Mahoney into Trauma Twitter over the break ........ I think it's time to nudge Pravin Dahal into #RegionalAnaesthesia Twitter).

Their people are here!

#ACE22TAS

Interesting commentary around very low numbers of thoracic epidurals in training now.

#ACE22TAS

Nice practical talk around logistics of ESP blocks and equipment available locally. #ACE22TAS

Oh spicy audience question:

Should we just bite the bullet and abandon the thoracic epidural entirely?

Very few being done, many alternatives without neuraxial issues, fewer contraindications, health service burden?

Social Media for Anaesthetists.

Talk delivered at the beautiful Josef Chromy Winery in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia.

#ACE22TAS

Social media is enormous no matter how you look at it. Billions in ad revenue, millions of tweets every day, hours of our time on platforms. Pervasive in our personal and professional lives. Can't separate ourselves from it now.

(In the break one delegate proudly announced that they were in the minority - no social media at all.

I asked them if on WhatsApp .... yes but that's not social media they said .... 😬 .... we're on it, and we don't even know it sometimes ...)
