In this Ultrasound Grand Rounds, Dr. Matthew Tabbut, MD introduces ultrasound-guided nerve blocks in the ED: why you should be doing them, how local anesthetics work, and the key safety issues, including LAST (local anesthetic systemic toxicity). It’s a foundational primer for regional anesthesia at the bedside in the Emergency Department.
