Fascinating video! I have a practical question which is not adressed in the video. To hold both the ultrasound probe and needle AND at the same time administer the puffs of saline, you would need three hands. Is the syringe with saline handled by an assistent, or do you let go of the needle and inject the saline yourself, then put down the syringe and advance the needle further? Also, with the probe tilted from medial to lateral, do you insert the needle from the lateral side of the probe (seems most logical to me) or the medial side? This video has been on YT for over a year. If the original poster does not reply, any insights shared regarding the questions above by anesthesiologists who have adopted this method would be greatly appreciated!
@@regionalanesthesiology Wow, thank you for that very quick reply! I use in plane technique for all of my blocks, including transverse and parasagittal paravertebral, but I am certainly going to give this a try.
Special thank for that tip of out of plain approach - I feel like that, but do it only as a last resort. Happy to hear, that others do it and feel secure
It is very dangerous procedure negative aspirations will not guaranty one is not in vessel. Most importantly being very close to heart drug act more rapidly than Intravenous. The author has about 45 Yeats of Exeperince in Regional Anesthesia
Is that the erector spinae plane block? PVB are reliable and can provide anesthetic blocks, not just analgesic. They are harder to learn and can cause pneumothorax, but they are much more effective.
