@DrRobbieErskine @ashwani_doc @ESRA_trainees @ASRA_Society @ESRA_Society Adipose and connective tissue present both in and out of nerve. Therefore impossible to discriminate between two using standard ultrasound. Thus, fluid injection pressure does not discriminate. PNS uses different physical mechanism - electricity rather than mechanical sound waves

@Steve_Coppens @KartikBSonawane @AmyPearsonMD @jeffgadsden @ESRA_Society Great to share stage with you Steve
Kartik, the slide shows toxic effect of all local anaesthetics on axons in rats. Concentrations should be reduced in patients with vasculitic disease. The session emphasised we have to take time to explain things to patients

@ashwani_doc @ESRA_Society Thanks Ash
Didn't get a chance to chat

@casualtysrus @ashwani_doc @RCollEM @ESRA_Society @RegionalAnaesUK Thanks Chris and lovely to meet you. We implemented K. Anders Ericsson’s expert performance approach with deliberate practice and metrics. We know it works in chess and sport but can it make a difference in Medicine

When the players got in at half time, Howe was waiting with a presentation.

He showed them the stats of how we drop off physically in the first 15 mins of the 2nd half. He implored them not to do the same.

7 minutes in, this happens.

Superb. #NUFC

Its all about micro-anatomy and tip precision!

In nerve roots, intrafascicular injection only occurred if fascicle diameter was more than twice the needle opening length and the entire opening was inside the fascicle. Our latest paper: https://t.co/dypDwkomoz
