@amit_pawa @GongGasGirl Now you have 2475 unread emails in your trash?

I can’t remember the last time this happened so I feel compelled to share this here, especially for @GongGasGirl ! For context, last week I had 2,500 unread emails! 😳😬👌🏾

They’re non-sterile so we only use for single shot blocks, but they’re cheap, provide good coverage, and don’t stick to the probe. Plus they’re an endless source of comedy gold in the OR.

What is your current practice? Any other creative solutions to keep patients safe from infection during US-guided procedures? #Blocktober23 @PeterMerjavy @drrobbieerskine @DrDiveshArora @mick_kerr @hjas18anes @tmcraf001gracie @DrSophieJackman

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? @amit_pawa @GongGasGirl

@JanBoublikMDPhD @amit_pawa @BlockIt_Hot_Pod @ESRA_Society @jeffgadsden So many good options, how’s a guy supposed to choose???

@mattlevine14 @amit_pawa @BlockIt_Hot_Pod @ESRA_Society @jeffgadsden well, @mattlevine14, not happy….you could come to the ASA next month in SF (direct flight), ASRa24 in san Diego or RAUK24 in London

Who’s that drawing such a huge crowd at #ESRAworld2023? Obviously it’s @amit_pawa showing people how to block it like it’s hot! @BlockIt_Hot_Pod @ESRA_Society

@amit_pawa @BlockIt_Hot_Pod @ESRA_Society @jeffgadsden Very sorry to have missed you @amit_pawa - #ESRAworld2023 went by too fast! Guess I’ll have to come back to Europe for another conference sometime soon 🤷‍♂️

@mattlevine14 @BlockIt_Hot_Pod @ESRA_Society Hold on…Matt…the Mug-Winner from @BlockIt_Hot_Pod ? !!!! What?! Why didn’t we meet, @jeffgadsden with not be happy! Hope you had a great time? It was actually I who was being educated then my the wonderful Prof Thomas Bendtsen!

Lastly all speakers expressed their genuine thanks for the international support that they have received - both from the medical community and the wider global community 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

One particularly poignant moment was a speaker describing the cognitive dissonance of his village having been bombed one day, and then visiting the Louvre the next day - “I feel like I’m on ketamine”

Fascinating series of talks at #ESRA2023 from the delegation from #Ukraine about the use of #regionalanaesthesia for victims of war @ESRA_Society

We’ll have you ordering fush & chups like a local in no time!

Just in time for the weekend, @jeffgadsden and I are delighted to deliver @BlockIt_Hot_Pod #BlockItlikeItsHot Episode 7 - part 1 of a 3 part series! Teaching RA! Spotify spotify.link/W2devJV03xb 🍎podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/blo… podbean.com/ew/pb-uckfd-13…

Was stoked to get home today (after listening to @BlockIt_Hot_Pod Ep7 on the way) and find my new favorite mug waiting for me! Thanks @amit_pawa and @jeffgadsden!!

@DrNavSidhu I’m a big fan - since listening to @BlockIt_Hot_Pod Ep 3 I’ve added infero-lat & ‘cuties’ for TKJR and I’m very impressed with the results.

Genicular blocks are an emerging regional #anaesthesia technique for knee surgery. Assoc Prof Enrique Goytizolo at #ASURA2023

@amit_pawa @GSTTanaesthesia @BlockIt_Hot_Pod @jeffgadsden Me trying to keep up with RA nomenclature…

@mattlevine14 @GSTTanaesthesia @BlockIt_Hot_Pod Except… we now call it superficial parasternal intercostal 😉😂 @jeffgadsden @BlockIt_Hot_Pod

This was one of the first blocks performed by one of our new @GSTTanaesthesia Regional Fellows - Dr Sarah Tian 1. Can you guess what the block was? I reckon it could be one of at least 3! 2. Can you guess why I was excited enough to capture an image of it? @BlockIt_Hot_Pod
