#200 Celebrating the 200th Episode - Safer Blocks and Enhancing Regional Anesthesia Safety

Anesthesia Patient Safety Podcast

Welcome to the next installment of the Anesthesia Patient Safety podcast hosted by Alli Bechtel. This podcast is an exciting journey towards improved anesthesia patient safety.
Can peripheral nerve blocks be the answer to improving patient satisfaction and joining the fight against the opioid crisis? Christina Ratto joins us for our milestone 200th episode to share her invaluable insights on this very question. We celebrate the world of regional anesthesia with important considerations for patient safety with peripheral nerve blocks. Together, we scrutinize the pros, like heightened patient contentment and a hopeful check on opioid usage, and consider the role of ultrasound guidance as a beacon for block success and minimizing complications. Our discussion navigates through the study by Sites and colleagues, offering a critical look at local anesthetic systemic toxicity and postoperative neurological symptoms, illuminating the imperative of safety in regional anesthesia.
Join us in this landmark celebration of knowledge and commitment to patient safety in the realm of regional anesthesia. As we celebrate 200 episodes, we extend an invitation to our listeners to interact, ask questions, and share insights, all in the service of a shared goal—no patient harm during anesthesia care. Your participation is the heartbeat of our podcast; your engagement online through likes, subscriptions, and shares propels our message further. Until we meet again in our next episode, we pledge to keep the conversation on patient safety alive, insightful, and at the heart of what we do.
