Yo yo, it's the 19th of #blocktober, and that means rectus sheath blocks! This old school technique has enjoyed a resurgence and is now part of some of our ERAS pathways for abdominal cases with midline incisions. Also a fave for urgent ex-laps when TEA contraindicated. #DukeRAP
And here's the video for rectus sheath block...enjoy! #Blocktober #DukeRAP #RegionalAnesthesia #RegionalAnaesthesia

I should be on a plane on my way to discuss #periopPOCUS & virtual anaesthesia at this fantastic meeting.

I'm not.

But thanks to the assistance of the fantastic @claralexlobo I'm still going to be there (virtually of course).

This ☝️ is what support looks like
None of us like to let the side down but sometimes other factors intervene

The #regionalanaesthesia family is an awesome & supportive place & I'm very happy to be a part of it
