A short @RCoANews @RCoA_CRI #NAP8 update after 2yrs work so far 😃 Baseline surveys: Individual - almost 11000 fully complete responses. Interesting data emerging 👍 Departmental - 98% completion rate. Next on list to be analysed 😉 1/n (don’t have many characters to use 😢!)

An Update on Plan A Blocks in Regional Anesthesia: edmariano.com/archives/2614 @LloydTurbitt @elboghdadly @Anaes_Journal @Assoc_Anaes @CSAHQ @ESRA_Society @ASRA_Society @ESRA_trainees

An Update on Plan A Blocks in Regional Anesthesia

First published online in 2019, our editorial in Anaesthesia challenged the world of regional anesthesia by asserting the concept of ‘a few blocks for the many’ in opposition to ‘many blocks for the...

Effective lidocaine volume for a double-injection costoclavicular brachial plexus block. Registered at #ISRCTN by @JulianAliste isrctn.com/ISRCTN16060312 #clinicaltrials
The costoclavicular block is a regional anesthesia technique for the upper extremity. The block has proven to be effective and safe to offer anesthesia and analgesia for upper extremity surgery. Recently it was demonstrated that depositing the local anesthetic in two locations is more efficient than in just one for this technique. However, the volume of local anesthetic needed when using two injections is unknown and might be different and perhaps lower than with single injections. The aim of this study is to determine the ideal volume to use in this double injection technique. This is important because knowing the effective volume it is possible to prevent unnecessary high and possibly toxic doses of local anesthetics.

I was just reading about @study_access and today fortuitously got given this. Both got BP blocks. Both avoided GA (aim of the day). Both could go home. AVF happy for increased blood flow 🤸🏻‍♀️ – at Oxford, England
