🚨 LAST-MINUTE OPPORTUNITY🚨 1st ESRA Barcelona RA Cadaver Workshop has been completely SOLD OUT for weeks. Today, due to a last-minute cancellation, 1 final place has become available.. If you hoped to attend but missed out when registration closed, this is your moment.

@salmannaeem217 @doctorevanyates @amit_pawa @mick_kerr Agree. For me both approaches represent the same block as there are no important branches of BrPlx between C5/6 roots and ST and basically same fibres are covered with bot techniques. We use them interchangeably whichever is easier to visualise

@PeterMerjavy @doctorevanyates @amit_pawa @mick_kerr Nice. What about superior trunk plus supraclavicular block

How come I feel like standard of care of treatment for these in the ed is doing the fascia iliaca with probe parallel to inguinal crease as opposed to this orientation? I feel like I didn’t even know about this variant until went into RA literature/resources

@doctorevanyates @amit_pawa @mick_kerr @salmannaeem217 Got a high risk guy in his mid 90s for awake shoulder surgery (philos) with small, undisplaced anterior pelvic rim fracture which nicely responded to PENG block in order to keep him sitting in beach chair to get his shoulder fixed under interscalene + supraclavicukar nerves block

@mick_kerr @salmannaeem217 @amit_pawa Love me a good PENG mainly for pelvic fractures that aren’t operative and patient just needs a little something something to get them home and over the initial pain hump

Thank you very much for your “personalised” email @bmj_company 🙄

@amit_pawa True, And if you’re gonna do Adductor Canal block for knee replacement you may as well do a distal Femoral Triangle block

This is going to be a great update to the original Plan A paper… I have a controversial take though… If you are gonna do an ESP block, you may as well do an ITP block! #Controversy! #PlanABlocks #RegionalAnaesthesia #RegionalAnesthesia

@RAPMOnline I think the authors as well as reviewers should be using new nomenclature for thoracic wall blocks already published in this journal 🤔

🎯 A Simple Block, A Big Difference Modified PECS II block improves anterior shoulder analgesia in RA-only arthroscopy: pain 56%→7%, sedation 56%→7%, complete RA 44%→93%. A simple addition to enhance patient comfort. 🔗 doi.org/10.1136/rapm-2… #RAPM

Dr Robbie Erskine talking about Day Case Targeted Spinal & his besties Prilocaine and Chloroprocaine! I’m sold! #WDRAPM @ESRA_Society @amit_pawa @DrRobbieErskine @bobfunn @PeterMerjavy @rhasnab

@maffygirl @HouthoffKavita @bobfunn @DrRobbieErskine @amit_pawa @rhasnab @gasoloog Modern fixation strategies for soft embalmed cadavers using minimum of the formaldehyde, which dramatically reducing the unpleasant odour in the anatomy lab. Combined with improved ventilation it usually doesn’t cause any major issues.

@HouthoffKavita @bobfunn @PeterMerjavy @DrRobbieErskine @amit_pawa @rhasnab @gasoloog I must have an exquisite nose. I find myself quite ill at these workshops.
