There are so many applications for RA in the ED - anesthesiologists can’t be there all the time so it’s great to see ASRA Pain Medicine partnering with our EM colleagues to promote safe and effective blocks for our patients

Excellent talk by Melody Herman, MD: Does RA mask compartment syndrome? Does not seem as such; best to avoid epidurals and IVRA, but other blocks are likely to be safe; keep open dialog and be on the lookout #ASRASPRING24

Learned so much from ASRA Pain Medicine this week that I can’t wait to take back to the ED. It might seem niche for EM folks, but a couple of days at a conference like this and you can come away with a whole new skill set #ASRASPRING24

Block It Like It’s Hot Podcast I’ve got an episode request for the more ER based uses of regional for acute pain- could you guys go over (or even just refer to a list of) motor sparing lower extremity blocks we can use? Dr Amit Pawa💉🎙️ Jeff Gadsden Arun Nagdev

Joe Stegeman Block It Like It’s Hot Podcast @drevanyates Arun Nagdev Andrew Goldsmith I’ve always thought of this as a last-ditch, kitchen sink, final thing before terminating resuscitation in cardiac arrest patients in refractory VF, but maybe we should be doing these earlier? Should we be doing these whenever we consider VF refractory?

Congrats Jenny!! Thanks for taking all of 2023 and giving us the TLDR

Soooo useful in the ED. Mostly the tibial block but the rest are very simple and sometimes you need the added coverage. BlockHeads
