Anaesthetist in the making. Art-is-life-is-art. Honesty in the best poetry. Food lover. Keen explorer. Not very good at social media. All views my own.
Bilateral TAP blocks on Delivery Suite post LSCS, absence of intrathecal opiate, can’t have NSAIDs, can’t have codeine and in lots pain. Instant relief for the both of us! Trying to put evidence into action (even if it is 01:37am)

Day 2, more blocks & learning about the robust ambulatory LA home catheter system.
Highlights:
🤍Popliteal cath & adductor (with clonidine) in teen -Achilles lengthening
🤍Small group regional teaching by the Regional Attending
🤍Finding my way back to the office unassisted✌🏼
ICU patient. D2 post-op. Tachypnoeic, hypertensive, alkalotic, unable to eat, sleep or mobilise secondary to pain. Lengthy procedure >8h. Much happier and asleep 30 mins following ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric block.

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 🤸🏻♀️
After curing pain, facilitating surgical endeavours & spreading joy in theatres, nothing better than to re-caffeinate with GOOD coffee.

Superior trunk block for ACJ +/- surgical shoulder exploration. I think I’m a convert! Would something else be more effective? What’s the minimum volume / concentration for best efficacy?

6h following epidural top up (lidocaine with adrenaline, opioid at the end), being mindful that elimination half-life is 1.5-2h. Using Levobupivacaine and US to reduce risk of LAST, didn’t really have many other options!🙈

Yes my issue too! But others have said to submit without references and then add if accepted as poster /presentation. Now my other query- on the submission page it specifically says title in small characters and in the instructions in caps.. which one ?! 🫠

Interestingly this case was an epidural top up earlier, but without PR diclofenac (allergy to NSAIDs) and limited weak opioids she was left with only regular paracetamol for her major abdominal surgery and new baby handling role! More options needed for these women.
