You mentioned in the neuraxial block video that blocks are contraindicated for injury such as fractures, does this apply to regional nerve blocks or just spinals?
Great Question! It applies to Regional blocks as well, although it is at the discretion of the anesthesia provider, but if compartment syndrome develops the signs will be masked and could result in injury. So, overall blocks are avoided in traumatic injuries for this reason. GA is usually the route chosen by the anesthesia provider.

I am enjoying your videos and am wondering if you might have a guest OB/L&D PACU nurse guest at some point to give some specifics
in that area. Debbie
Great suggestion!
