It is standard of care to test for HLA-B*15:02 prior to starting Carbamazepine and Oxcarbazepine. In this new paper, we discuss the risk of developing SJS/TENS with other anticonvulsants in patients with this allele.

Phantom limb pain is still a difficult condition to treat in 2024. More research is needed to find a better solution for these patients.

Excellent discussion around PCA remifentanil for labor analgesia #ObAnes @DesireOnwochei sharing with us of the "unique" circumstances when IV PCA might be useful @AFSRA10

1/2 reminders:
✅early epidurals do not prolong labor nor do they cause cesareans

@RAPMOnline @ESchwenkMD @dr_rajgupta @ASRA_Society I'm not convinced that we can reliably perform an ultrasound guided suprazygomatic maxillary nerve block. In most current ultrasound descriptions, the lateral pterygoid plate is way too shallow. It is more likely the ramus of the mandible.

@pash22 @NICEComms @BlottMaggie @susan_bewley @jimgthornton @catherineroyuk @drruthannharpur Editorial failure: recommending a sham treatment is not ethical.

@elreedy2000 @Anaes_Reports @fintensivecare @DrRobbieErskine Certainly very interesting. S2 is far from the paravertebral space and the lumbar plexus. More questions than answers at this point.

The one and only @DrPhilipPeng at #WSM2024 covering #RegionalAnaesthesia #RegionalAnesthesia for Shoulder surgery.

He starts by Quashing the Myth that the Suprascapular Block innervates 70% of the shoulder! Apparently at a max it is 40-45% !

🔓In August, this retrospective study provided three important clinical conclusions about intrathecal catheters following accidental dural puncture.

Do they have proven benefits?

Neuroanatomy geeks, what is the nerve affected here ? Bonus for what is the diagnosis

[Christopher Liu @MDChrisLiu]

@NarouzeMD @JAMAInternalMed This is an opinion that is somewhat accusatory and not backed by evidence. But I do advocate for urgent non-industry non-insurer funded well designed sham controlled RCTs to determine if SCS are superior sham.
