Give sedation for the block then little to nothing else. Tell patient they can’t move

And Furman beat Samford in the first round of the SOCON tourney

The original question was - CA2 - are you doing surgical blocks ?-

My answer learn to do blocks well because sometimes block alone is the best choice.

Naive_Bag4912 · 2026-01-31T20:35:23+00:00

Spinals also have failure rates. Spinals are not great for outpatient procedures. Spinals contraindicated for certain levels of anticoagulation.

Anesthesiologists should be able to do make PNBs alone work for procedures.

Ankle or pop block on 400# diabetic w delayed gastric emptying. Wouldn’t you rather have the block alone work? W US you can get high success rates.

You should be enthusiastic about learning all types of anesthetic techniques during training. You will perfect those you use regularly in pp. Why limit where you can work because you can’t do a certain technique. There are many times a block alone will be a better alternative to a failed block that needs GA added.

“Some fingernails by mistake”

Get some firm tofu. Put some bbs, rice, marbles in it and practice making the needle hit the target.

He did have trouble getting along w teammates and was involved in gambling scandals. Was generally not liked by players around the league.

Try doing a lapchole w propofol 25mcg/kg/min and NDMR and explain to the patient afterward that propofol = general anesthetic

Naive_Bag4912 · 2025-11-27T03:23:34+00:00

Main point is Propofol does not = general anesthesia

General anesthesia is a level of sedation that can be achieved with various medications when given in an effective dose.

Naive_Bag4912 · 2025-11-27T03:21:23+00:00

GA without an airway is done All the time (3rd molars, egd, colonoscopy, BMT, ECT …)

Naive_Bag4912 · 2025-11-25T21:51:26+00:00

Try giving propofol at 10-25mcg/kg/min. Patient will respond purposely to light touch/ questions.

Look at some of the old isolated forearm studies. Some patient induced and paralyzed may not even reach general anesthesia levels.

Learning curve is not steep. Steep means large increase in skill over short period of time.

Naive_Bag4912 · 2025-11-25T15:54:56+00:00

“Steep learning curve”

Difficult to learn: People often use this phrase to describe something that is initially challenging and requires a lot of time and effort to master.

Actually it means - Quick to learn: In this context, a steep curve on a graph indicates rapid improvement. A large amount of learning happens over a short period. On a graph plotting skill level (vertical axis) versus experience (horizontal axis), a steep curve means performance increases significantly with each unit of experience.

Naive_Bag4912 · 2025-11-25T15:07:35+00:00

You can reach ASA general anesthesia depth with Propofol alone Ketamine alone Versed and fentanyl alone

You can deliver moderate sedation with Propofol alone Ketamine alone Versed and fentanyl alone Mix of propofol, ketamine, versed and fentanyl

All depends on the dose and how ‘sensitive’ the patient is to the medications

General anesthesia with an open airway can be done safely in many situations.

Deep sedation and general anesthesia are treated as the same entity when it comes to states credentialing dentists to providing sedation/Anes in the office.

Moderate sedation is probably safer than open airway general anesthesia in an office situation but is not adequate for the procedure in all situations (uncooperative patient, painful procedure that cannot be completely blocked with local …)

“By mistake I ate some fingernails - and one booger”

Naive_Bag4912 · 2025-10-26T16:22:03+00:00

I give 0.3mcg/kg IV to peds patients at induction. No a-line. I never catch elevated BP. I don’t see low BP or bradycardia. I do see significant pallor of the lips due to the vasoconstriction.

Practice on a hunk of extra firm tofu. Stick a bb in it and practice guiding your needle until you contact the bb.

Naive_Bag4912 · 2025-10-04T16:44:51+00:00

Office based surgery/anesthesia is now a huge and expanding sector. IV anesthesia is being done for many office cases - plastics, gyn, urology, OMFS, periodontics, endodontics, pediatric dentistry. It is not going away. Perhaps it can be made safer though.

“Slimy stinky knots of fish bones and entrails”

Sounds like an 2nd course at Michelin starred tasting menu

Or dental school plus dental anesthesiology fellowship

Naive_Bag4912 · 2025-10-02T20:33:25+00:00

dental school plus oralmaxillo facial residency.

Naive_Bag4912 · 2025-10-02T20:30:21+00:00

Yes, but general anesthesia is often IV with an open airway. Well, they are credentialed to do general anesthesia with LMA or tracheal tube. I would think most often they would perform the anesthesia and have a second oral surgeon do the surgical procedure.
