These changes impact drug distribution, elimination, ventilation, and the risk of aspiration. Throughout the discussion, the host and guest highlight the need for anesthesia providers to stay updated on the latest evidence-based practices and guidelines for managing pregnant patients.

Neurosurgery and Regional Anesthesia Claim CME Credit: The CE experience for this Podcast is powered by CMEfy - click here to reflect and earn credits: https://earnc.me/t3z3kR In this episode, we will explore the various regional anesthesia techniques used in neurosurgery, specifically focusing on blocks for head, neck, and spinal surgeries. Segment 1: Blocks used in Head and Neck Surgeries Scalp Block: The scalp block involves blocking six nerves that provide sensory innervation to the scalp. It is performed by subcutaneous infiltration of local anesthetics (such as bupivacaine, ropivacaine, or levobupivacaine) for each nerve. Ultrasound guidance has improved the precision of block administration. The main indication for a scalp block is awake craniotomy, but it is also used in other procedures like deep brain stimulation and cranioplasty surgery. Scalp block offers advantages such as accurate neurological evaluation, pre-emptive analgesia, and hemodynamic stability during surgery. It also reduces postope

Introduction: Providing anesthesia for pediatric orthopedic patients poses unique challenges for anesthesiologists.

This is an extremely important matter. Appropriate reasons, such as a prior treater, attempted various nonopioid treatments of some kind that failed. There must be a very good reason why opioids were tried. It must be documented.   Larry Kobak, Esq. Senior Counsel Frier Levitt ATTORNEYS AT LAW
