I'm not shooting...except at sacred cows.
Can you give a reason for starving your Biers blocks? It seems illogical to
me and delays treatment.
Let's go further.... Do we really still need the second "rescue" cannula in
the other arm?
Monitoring should remain, I'm sure we are all agreed. Your tecs may
be trained to monitor the patients, but are they trained to act immediately
in a crisis?
I routinely use the ACF for the injection site without problems -
has anyone had any problems with this?
