MedTandem – The mentoring social network that is rewarding for physicians. With medTandem, you can be a mentor and a trainee.

This new virtual platform is characterized by:

Exclusively for physicians. Still limited to three specialties: anesthesia, emergency medicine, orthopedics, the platform should address all specialties by early 2017.

Advantages and disadvantages of ultrasound guided

23 May, 2016 | All, Training | Hybrid needle, Regional anesthesia, Ultrasound, ultrasound guided | 2 |

Advantage of ultrasound guided regional anesthesia methods.

High success rate
Safe performance of blocks
Direct visualization of neuronal and adjacent anatomical structures
Direct visualization of needle placement and spread of local anesthetics
The individual blocks are cheaper in comparison with other techniques in regional anesthesia
Amortization of high standard ultrasound equipment after 2500 blocks due to high success rates (with very low conversion rates to alternative anesthesia methods),

Infographics that help us understand the use of USB and USC needles

The USB (30º Bevel needles for peripheral nerves blocks under ultrasound guidance) for the research of muscular nerve sheaths was conceived so you can observe them clearly – whilst moving through the tissues – on the screen of an ultra sound machine thanks to a surface treatment of the steel tubing.

Ultra Fast-Track in inguinal hernia repair

26 October, 2015 | All, Clinical case | Hybrid, Ultra Fast-Track | Like |

INTRODUCTION

Inguinal hernia surgery is a very common surgical procedure in our country, representing about 15% of all surgical procedures performed in the field of general surgery in adults. It is a relatively simple procedure, and with an increasingly frequent trend toward its inclusion in outpatient surgical programmes so the anaesthesia strategy employed becomes very relevant.

Interscalene block for necrotising fasciitis surgery in ASA IV patient

19 October, 2015 | All, Clinical case | Hybrid needle, Inter scalene block, Regional anaesthesia | 1 |

INTRODUCTION

Regional anaesthesia is presented as an alternative to general anaesthesia offering better control of postoperative pain and a shorter anaesthetic recovery time, although not without complications. These benefits are of great importance in patients with high comorbidity where general anaesthesia may pose a high risk.

The brachial plexus block at interscalene level is one of the most commonly used techniques for upper limb surgery.
