So
If you were reading a medical textbook would you expect a patient to be described as “Obese” or “Living with obesity”
Genuinely interested as they seem to mean slightly different things to me??

Pajunk acre a great company
They’ve been making 60mm block needles on my request for us in Derby for years now because sometimes 50mm isn’t quite long enough👌

Just heard two experienced and excellent colleagues are leaving for Oz and Canada with their families ..it’s not all about the money though, they just want to work somewhere where they are treated as valued colleagues 😔

I use Lidocaine for shorter more minor arthroscopic procedures ..sometimes with suprascap block ..otherwise 0.75% L 👍
I agree , certainly quicker than time taken to position etc

I use only ropivacain 0,75% for awake shoulder procedures. Never had any problems concerning onset time. Surgeons are not fast enough in patient positioning 😉.

“postoperative lateral position - child better at maintaining their own airway than - anaesthetist. . often the best approach is to let everything go, gently open their mouth and feel for breath..patients mostly do fine without us. Iatrogenic airway obstruction is common. Let the patient have a go.”

Did 5 awake shoulder procedures yesterday.
Interscalene block
0.75% Levo 6-10ml
Plus sup Cx plexus
0.75% Levo 5ml
I’m pretty convinced the onset time is equivalent to Lidocaine 1-2% …so no mixy mixy for me 🤪

Shut up I grew up on Enflurane.
That was my initiation to anaesthesia.
Loved it.
Sad when the fancy pants new isoflurane took over.

Just relistened to both episodes back to back chilling after my morning run. I LOVE the ED perspective on RA…those subtle nuances of WHY they do the blocks and the consideration given to “Trajectory” of the patient. To quote The Clash: “So you got to let me know
Should I stay, or should I go?”
Should I stay, or should I go?”
Check out this clip from the latest episode of @bilih.bsky.social #BILIH where @nagdevarun.bsky.social & Dr Andrew Goldsmith tell us how they reduce dislocated shoulders in the ER!
