Anaesthetist with a passion for Regional Anaesthesia and Education 💉🩺💊💡 Conjoint Lecturer UNSW
Gowns for technically challenging and for trainees…
Free rein for the consultant to don sterile gloves and just bang in the spinal! 😆

23.01.2026 05:03 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Great interview and subject. Huge amounts of crossover from managing peri-procedural anxiety in paediatric patients.
Organisations across the world specialising in teaching this: POEMS (UK), NPHTI (US), EPIC (Aus/NZ).
I’ve learnt a whole host of skills that translate into my adult practice.
The power of communication and body language. So true, not only for anaesthetic practice, but also in pain management consults (particularly the challenging anxious patient)!

@dr-amit-pawa.bsky.social got me on to this platform (I avoided bluebird/X like the plague before!).
Enjoyable keeping up with the chats!
This would seem to be the essence of it…

If severe lung disease and Pulm HTN, I might reconsider, but otherwise inhaled nitric oxide is super useful!
FIB is effective to help position for spinal.
Typically use a touch of alfentanil and propofol for the turn.
Dexmedetomidine infusion 0.3mcg/kg/hr works nice too if you are patient.
Bad side up, plain bupivacaine 0.5% + fent. 1.8-2.5mls depending on pt and exact surgery.
FIB + GA (SGA) with a-line. Classic- maintain preload, low-normal HR and vasoconstrictors running.
For the severe lung disease one- CSE (5mg isobaric bupivaine bad side up with some fent). Titrate up epidural with lidocaine/adr as required.
If severe Pulm HTN and they doing cement - now that’s 🔥
20+ per year is not going to be achievable, unless you do it as practice on those not needing it.
Just like crisis management, I think perhaps regular simulation to maintain the skill set is the way to go.
All anaesthetists should be able to do some form of AFOI/ATI-FB. Else phone a friend!
No need for Desflurane.
Certainly can make do with sevoflurane/propofol +/- remi.
Best place for propofol- into the patient. Otherwise, we use this product so it doesn’t go into wastewater:

Have you checked out our latest episode of @bilih.bsky.social #BILIH #BlockItLikeItsHot

Thanks for sharing Amit. As always, expertly presented!
Nice balanced view.
Similarly we rarely do perineural catheters in elective surgery settings. Aggressive scheduled MMA!
Majority of the ones placed at our institution are for rib fractures, palliative NOF pts, amputations + chronic pain pts.
My talk from @ra-uk.org #RAUK25 is available here!

Imprecision of BIS terminology reminds me of what @airwaycam.bsky.social always says about the gum elastic bougie.
Not made of gum
Not elastic
Not a bougie

Keeping up to date with perioperative stroke.
Also, I always thought lasers and 100% Oxygen didn’t mix well (even in the supposed ‘absence of fuel’)

Wow Folks!!

Yes it was definitely a blast! Filled with humorous banter - the best way to teach and learn 😂.
Shame it didn’t work out to catch up this time - until the next opportunity!
What a wonderful experience polishing up on regional anaesthesia. Top tips on real life practice from the one and only Prof Admir Hadzic.

I did something I hadn't done before. I published a preprint, intending to update it periodically and publicly, before submitting for publication at a future date.
A thread on why I took this approach and the results thus far.
