Mar 14, 2022
The podcast discusses the comparison between supraclavicular and infraclavicular approaches for ultrasound-guided subclavian venous catheterization. It includes experiences, opinions, a study on complication rates, and the importance of using ultrasound guidance. A study comparing two techniques for subclavian lines is also discussed, focusing on safety, complications, patient conditions, and trial results. Results of a study show a higher rate of complications with the infraclavicular approach. Techniques for subclavian lines placement and safety outcomes of different ultrasound-guided central lines are also highlighted.

Erector Spinae Plane Block for Rib Fractures

A case series study examined the efficacy of the erector spinae plane block for managing acute pain in emergency department patients with rib fractures. The study involved nine patients who received diluted bupivacaine and experienced significant pain reduction. This pilot study suggests that the erector spinae plane block could be a beneficial option for patients with intractable pain from rib fractures.
