In this video, we demonstrate the technique for performing an ultrasound-guided interfascial plane block (IPB)—a simple, effective, and motor-sparing alternative to the interscalene block for treating shoulder pain in the Emergency Department. This block targets the axillary nerve within the plane between the deltoid and subscapularis muscles and has shown promise in providing significant pain relief while avoiding diaphragmatic paralysis and upper extremity motor dysfunction. 🩺 Special thanks to Drs. Billy Shank, Tyler Yates, and Gabe Rose for their contributions to this video and for...

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition seen in the emergency department, but traditional treatment options often involve long wait times for definitive care. Could ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release (CTR) be a game-changer for ED management? In this interview, Dr. Gabe Rose discusses how this minimally invasive technique can be used in the ED, its benefits over traditional approaches, and what emergency physicians need to know to implement it. We cover: ✅ The basics of ultrasound-guided CTR✅ Advantages over conventional surgical release✅ Indications and patient selection in...
