Hey hey it’s the 2nd day of #Blocktober23 and we’re talking suprascapular nerve block. We do this when we’re concerned about phrenic nerve block in at-risk patients, and will combine it with an axillary nerve block or an infraclavicular BPB. Surprisingly effective? Yup.

Yo, it’s the 3rd day of #Blocktober23 and I wanna talk about fat. Specifically the kind that saves lives during LAST. In my view, lipid emulsion is one of the most significant advances in acute care medicine in the last 20 years. (Yes, that's lipid latte art...delicious & safe)

Happy 4th day of #Blocktober23 ! Let’s talk knees: We love our adductor/ipack/genics combo for TKA, but what about the cutaneous nerves? Are they important? I mean, it’s just skin, right? ASRA Pain Medicine Dr Amit Pawa💉🎙️ Ed Mariano, MD, MAS, FASA, FASRA 🇺🇸🇵🇭 Steve Coppens @drrobbieerskine bob funnekotter Veena Graff MD, FASRA

Morning! It's the 5th day of #Blocktober23 and I wanna touch on a subject that bugs me (pun intended): infection control. There's a range of practices out there when it comes to how to prevent infection with US-guided procedures, but what's best practice? Dr Amit Pawa💉🎙️ Tanya

Hey-o! It's the 7th day of #Blocktober23 and today I want to share and talk about tips for placing (and maintaining) perineural catheters. Catheters are amazing ways to extend your block duration, but can be fiddly to place and intimidating to place. Dr Amit Pawa💉🎙️ Tanya

Happy 8th day of #Blocktober23 ! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! We lurve a good PENG block for all things hips...THA, fracture pain, arthroscopy...well, you get the point. But, we often see trainees struggling with achieving the correct view of the bony anatomy...

It’s the 9th day of #Blocktober23 and today we’re going to share our top TAP tip. The TAP block is usually pretty straightforward, but in larger patients the 3 layers can look more like an 8-layer bean dip. How do you know which is which? Dr Amit Pawa💉🎙️ Tanya ASRA Pain Medicine

For the second year, Anesthesiology Day proved to be a resounding success, offering an immersive learning experience and invaluable mentorship to local high school students from diverse backgrounds who are aspiring to pursue a career in health care. 🔗tinyurl.com/7sttfhck
