WELCOME TO RUBBER CITY SONO & NERVE BLOCK U
Nerve blocks are straight up fun, but more importantly, they have been repeatedly demonstrated as a safe and effective method for achieving multi-modal pain control with the potential to impact and improve patient outcomes. Start with the bread and butter blocks while focusing on technique, then graduate to the fancy blocks and expand your toolbox from there!
With that being said...
Your mission, so you choose to accept it, is to join the Rubber City Sono Squad in our pursuits of global domination within the realm of ED Regional Anesthesia!
NERVE BLOCK U
Welcome to the Rubber City Sono Nerve Block University aka Nerve Block U!
Nerve Block U is designed as a multifaceted resource built around "OnePagers" for each block.
-
The OnePagers cover the hard hitting bedside essentials for rapid review and serve as a great quick reference you can use on shift.
-
Located on each OnePager is a QR code. When scanned, it will guide you to a Google Drive Folder on that particular block.
-
Within each Google Drive Folder, you will find example videos, images and graphics, and a Google Doc that contains references and additional resources should you wish to learn more on that block.
Nerve Block U will be a steadily expanding project that we plan to continually update and build upon. If you have any suggestion, ideas, or content you would like to see, please feel free to reach out as we want this as beneficial of a resource as possible!
Click the link below or scan the QR code on screen to be take to the Nerve Block U Google Drive Folder where all content is stored!
And just always remember...
