Today we'll be talking about ultrasound guided intercostal nerve blocks--an excellent technique for all kinds of chest (& abdominal) indications. Broken ribs? this is a quick, easy and effective technique to have at your disposal: #DukeRAP#Blocktober22
Here's our curated reading list for US-guided intercostal block:
Happy 1st of #Blocktober to all you blockstars out there!! It's SOOO great to be back and looking forward to all the fun interaction and engagement with the RA community!!! Check out today's block and more in the š§µ below #DukeRAP@Duke_Anesthesia@ASRA_Society@ESRA_Society

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
