Hellooo it’s Day 6 of #Blocktober26 ! Today, we’ll get back to the chest wall, but with a different perspective. You’re looking after a 52-year-old woman presenting for left mastectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy. The surgeon asks if you can “do a block” to improve postop analgesia — she’s happy for you to do whatever you like (and so is the patient). Patient is otherwise healthy and is happy to have a GA as well.

@DrRobbieErskine @jeffgadsden @amit_pawa @DrTuhinM @EMARIANOMD @Steve_Coppens @jon_bailey_anes @RegionalAnaesUK @HouthoffKavita @nehapadhi @Jerryblocksthat I’ve done my fair share of ‘medial FIBs’ in ED when surgery likely to be following day! 😉

[Dr Nav Bahal @NavBahal]

@jeffgadsden @amit_pawa @DrTuhinM @EMARIANOMD @Steve_Coppens @jon_bailey_anes @RegionalAnaesUK @HouthoffKavita @DrRobbieErskine @nehapadhi @Jerryblocksthat Femoral - v useful, easy to find - closely related to infrainguinal FIB (many UK residents learn in ED before anaesthesia), amenable to catheterisation, get to discuss anisotropy and acoustic enhancement (yay physics!)

Plus anatomy involves ‘N-A-V’ so it’s kinda personal! 😄

[Jeff Gadsden @jeffgadsden]

Happy #Blocktober26 everyone! It's that time of year again! Looking forward to another month of sharing and learning with everybody. Grab a coffee and a donut, and buckle up!

@RubenThurairaj @RoryStewartUK @RCoANews @parthaskar @Kevin_Fong Hey @RubenThurairaj - @RoryStewartUK is making a generalisation without knowing much of the granular detail. Anaesthesia (not anaesthesiology) in the UK is a diverse and welcoming specialty but we still have sizeable disparity issues across class, ethnicity & gender @morefluids
