Go nowhere else but here to locate where you are 📍@amit_pawa 1rib, 2rib, 3rib, 4 - how many more to get that null pain score?

@acopand discussing regional techniques for thoracic procedures at @ANZCA ASM. Very helpful video on counting ribs using USS @amit_pawa

@BlockIt_Hot_Pod Maybe never recover from it ❤️ so it becomes a regular thing (recording in person). Let’s go with that. Love the block love around the world.

AI powered US with holographic needle for real time regional Anaesthesia training - 🙏 to the Giang family https://t.co/Yq0UDvQlHU

[cassandrews 🇦🇺🏡 @acopand]

It certainly was a fantastic meeting - well organized, amazing speakers (Pawa can talk a lot 😝 - who knew?!) all so relevant and engaging! Best regional Anaesthesia meeting ever 👏🏻

[Dr Amit Pawa💉🎙️ @amit_pawa]

As #RegionalAnaesthesia #RegionalAnesthesia Meetings go, the #ASURA25 meeting put on by @ANZRA_X was one if the best!

What struck me was the talent of the speakers, the quality of the programme and the diversity of the faculty.

It is great to see & proud to be part of

[cassandrews 🇦🇺🏡 @acopand]

Another great listen to the guys talking blocks in the ED for analgesia esp SiFi for #nof - facial plane blocks ✅ working together ED + anesthesia. It’s a great idea.

[Dr Amit Pawa💉🎙️ @amit_pawa]

We have released the next episode of @BlockIt_Hot_Pod #BILIH #BlockItLikeItsHot a little bit early this month as a special thanks to our Australian listeners!

@jeffgadsden and I are joined by @NagdevArun & @GoldyMD !

Check it out!!

[cassandrews 🇦🇺🏡 @acopand]

@jeffgadsden Oh, unsure pain trajectories and block duration were mentioned specifically. We need to think about this BEFORE we block it, & use either a single shot, or add an adjunct, or in US/EU use a liposomal LA, or insert a catheter to target the anticipated peak of pain + multimodal 😉

[cassandrews 🇦🇺🏡 @acopand]

Whaaaat?! You mean there’s pain when the LA from a block wears off? 🤷‍♀️kidding 🤦🏼‍♀️ ! Need to nom nom those multi-modals straight from PACU peeps 👍🏻 & some IR prn as backup.

[Dr Amit Pawa💉🎙️ @amit_pawa]

In Our Season Two finale of #BILIH #BlockItLikeItsHot @BlockIt_Hot_Pod - @jeffgadsden & I talked about “Rebound Pain”

Triggered? What are your thoughts?

@amit_pawa @BlockIt_Hot_Pod @jeffgadsden 🎄 Great listening! Def up to normal standard. Accents 🚫, jokes ❓, content 💫👏🏻. Loved hearing Jeff ‘triggered back to the 80’s 😂’ - totally agree! Endorsed the paeds & block Q perfectly 🙏 🎄 until ‘2025.

[cassandrews 🇦🇺🏡 @acopand]

@jeffgadsden @amit_pawa Isn't the world of AI fascinating? Or is it inspiring? Motivating? Or something else? Seasons greetings you two 🎄🎅🏾🎅🏼

[cassandrews 🇦🇺🏡 @acopand]

@amit_pawa Love this Amit ❤️ - use it routinely and my staff have cottoned on. 🙂

Great for Pfannensteil incisions, less good for upper abdominal stuff. #Blocktober24 @TomJelic @DrNavSidhu @snouzin @mick_kerr @L_D_White @acopand @noolslucas @UCSFAnesthesia @Stanford_RAAPM

Best RA pod with star guest @GongGasGirl talking in kiwaussie with the boys. My admin mind mixed with unit head & RA heart captivated listening to challenges of novice/expert/registrar/consultant/supervisor - it’s a bell curve. I’m aiming all 2SD from mean.

Here is @GongGasGirl ‘s initial take on #RegionalAnaesthesia #RegionalAnesthesia!

But are the orthopods on board? Sure it takes 5-10 min. Do they see the crying screaming kid in PACU? What would they wish for their kid? How long does it take for me to ‘fix’ that kid? Longer than a block? Discuss

[cassandrews 🇦🇺🏡 @acopand]

Yep. Enough said. Block = analgesia for cut nerves. The rest is Anaesthesia for unconsciousness and prevention of recall. Together = safe and satisfied patient.

They’re not QUITE enough IMHO as surgical block, but with prop TIVA & LMA, it’s fab! Easy & safe. 🙌

However, you don’t need to! If you just place local on either side of the artery, you’ll get excellent results. #Blocktober24
