This 🫶🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 We should be respectful to our patients, our colleagues and ourselves. Long working hours will probably always be needed to get more skilled, however there should be balance, respect and flexibility. @Assoc_Anaes @bctimes @HeForShe

An Excellent read on the potential effect of Hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) and Local Anaesthetic Resistance.
Hands up if you have had one of these?!
#RegionalAnaesthesiaNightmares
A case report on local anaesthetic resistance!
Two epidurals, a spinal and a pudendal nerve block ALL FAILED for this obstetric patient.
Could it be due to increased microvascular permeability and fragile connective tissues? 🤔

LA resistance is drug dependent and can be as high as 1%. Causes are genetic variations of Na channels,Joint hyper mobility syndromes, scorpion envenomation and mutation of melanocortin 1 receptor.( ginger hair). I’ve seen it a few times with patients from Mediterranean origins.

Our latest study on comparing TQL vs FI for THR. No difference in pain scores or motor block.
Single Centre studies are hard work. Took 4 years from start of recruiting to publication!! Thanks to team- Junaid, @barbaracusack89,lauren &Vikas ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…

Super-excited about this article. After detailing the innervation of shoulder 2 yr ago, I investigated so many different approaches to SHD denervation and this one WORK!

Even after 22 years of practice, it's still so exciting to learn something new.
In this case, a novel approach for popliteal sciatic nerve block in supine patients, courtesy of the one & only @Nadia_Hdz_MD.
