@mmrhealthcare @PratsEM Have anesthesia colleagues teach you. If they don’t know, have them teach you TG sciatic block and then use d10 instead but make sure to encircle nerve, not just get close. Realistically, not the easiest block for a novice. So if not comfortable with blocks, start with a course.
@TomJelic@PratsEM Correct, as Mike mentioned, there’s no foot drop or other neuro changes. Relieves compression on the nerve if that’s the cause of pain. Definitely harder on obese patients, but even on some of them, visualization was good.
Great news: SONOGUIDE is back! Updated & revised! Check out this great web-based #POCUS learning tool w/ basic & advanced content. Big thanks to editors Drs. Dasia Esenger & Gabe Rose for all their work on this! @SonoBoss @ACEPNow @SAEMAEUS@SCUFellowships https://t.co/mHCTDKRElM
Have you ever wanted to learn the serratus block (and Pecs 1 & 2 blocks)? How about learning about it from its creator? @PratsEM sits down with Dr. Rafa Blanco on his how he came up with these blocks. Check it out here:

When the junior resident makes the diagnosis of the cause of dyspnea at bedside in a 30yo female from Central America (before any testing). Big LA and "elbowing" of the anterior mitral leaflet @hghed#echofirst
We have an awesome library of colorized anatomy! Great for lectures and demos, especially when in-person teaching is not an option! Check out these echo images and more at https://t.co/tU7r9DDYu0. #FOAMed#FOAMus#POCUS#MedEd#ultrasound#MedTwitter
Thank you to my co-editor @viamdinh, as well as @RubbleEM and the 70+ contributors from 20 institutions who worked on this book with us! It definitely was a labor of love! Look for a series of tweetorials in the upcoming weeks! @UCLAEMRes@dgsomucla@OliveViewUCLA@HarborUCLAEM
We RIGHTFULLY don't trust new graduated med students to practice medicine independently after 4 yrs of schooling. Why are the CA legislators thinking NPs can practice independently after 2 yrs???
