Last June I had a crash c-section and an anesthesia resident in a pickle cap took great care of me. By sheer coincidence, exactly a year later we were in the OR again, but this time I was the surgeon instead of the patient. Coming full circle 😊 #surgeonmom #ILookLikeASurgeon

[Helen Bean @drhelebeano]

Incredible work by a phenomenal team @VMAnesthesia and @VMFHealth led by Dr. Wade Weigel. I’m getting my copy signed.

[Anesthesiology Journals @_Anesthesiology]

In the June 2022 cover study, documentation of train-of-four ratios greater than or equal to 0.90 improved from 1% (2 of 172) of cases to 93% (250 of 269) of cases with the help of a quantitative monitor per anesthetizing location and ongoing education. https://t.co/oawL1DHnzc

Thanks for the tweet @dr_rajgupta! Now, help me convince Dave to get an account!

[Raj Gupta, MD, FASRA @dr_rajgupta]

You can still get phrenic nerve block effect after nerve catheter infusions. That doesn’t prevent a respiratory issue.
