In today’s episode host Dr. Christina Shenvi is joined by Dr. Robert Sternberg, Ultrasound Director at Akron General to discuss ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for precise pain relief in older patients. Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks provide relief from one of the most common emergency department complaints: pain. In addition to their use in acute pain management, nerve blocks can help reduce the use of opioids, reduce hospital length of stay, and improve patient outcomes and experiences.
Using case examples, Dr. Sternberg talks through how to perform 4 common types of nerve blocks you may use in the emergency department with an elderly patient: Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (FICB), Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block, Serratus Anterior Plane (SAP) Block and Erector Spinae Block (ESB). Tune in to hear indications, key anatomical landmarks, dosing, and techniques for each of the nerve blocks.
