National Regional Anaesthesia Symposium 2017, Part 4

The following finishes off day 1 of the symposium. The topics aren’t necessarily about the techniques, but regarding their applications outside of the perioperative period and practical issues like single-shot versus continuous blocks and securing of catheters (again, practical for continuous blocks). One thing interesting is the last topic, delivered by a pain specialist; she advocates for catheters to be placed in plane with the nerve. This is unlike most single-shot blocks which are performed with the needle almost always out of plane in regards to the nerve (while in plane as regards to the ultrasound beam-needle). Again, these videos have been copied over to the Malaysian Special Interest Group in Regional Anaesthesia (MY sigRA) YouTube page, and I encourage you to subscribe (why not both) to the channels to show your support.

National Regional Anaesthesia Symposium 2017, Part 3

The following are pretty advanced topics when compared to the run of the mill regional anesthesia concerns in daily practice. I like the topic of improving needle visualization as it pertains to the physics and practical use of ultrasound.

As regards to the debate regarding fascia iliaca blocks, it’s difficult to make a conclusion when here in HKL the block of choice is a suprainguinal FIB as compared to the classical infrainguinal FIB’s. Until then, personally I feel that the suprainguinal FIB is a useful tool in the armamentarium especially when time can be an issue occasionally to perform separate individual blocks.

National Regional Anaesthesia Symposium 2017, Part 2

One of the more interesting segments has to be the live demo, involving real patients, in real time. It’s one thing to scan a model; it’s another to scan a patient who may not be so thin, and perform the block (requiring needling skills), and do it in front of an audience, live. With commentary by an accomplished professional with an American “I’ll just say it” attitude (which I like).

This was followed by a talk by that said speaker.

Production wise, some editing was needed to balance out the voices of multiple speakers (MC, performers, commentators) a bit better.
