Hi,
> '3-in-1' blocks usually work very well
Can I ask what exactly is a 3-in-1 block?
Does it mean 10ml lignocaine + 10ml bupivicaine + 10ml water (to make up
volume) or does it refer to the 3 nerves which are blocked in 1 go - femoral
lat. cutaneous nerve of thigh, obturator.
Also, is the procedure any different from a standard femoral block?
Thanks
Mandar.
