Dr. Rosenblum shares insights as well as his upcoming ultrasound course schedyke in New York City, focusing on regional anesthesia, interventional pain, and IV ultrasound placement. He emphasizes the significance of ultrasound in enhancing pain management procedures and the latest advancements in the field. For PM&R Board Prep, go to NRAPpain.org Key Topics Discussed: Overview of Dr. Rosenblum's upcoming ultrasound courses in NYC, including regional anesthesia and IV ultrasound placement. More information can be found here or at NRAPpain.org. The role of ultrasound in interventional pain management, specifically in optimizing genicular nerve chemical ablation. Discussion on the recent study comparing genicular nerve phenol neurolysis and radiofrequency ablation. Importance of updating anatomical targets for pain management. Recommendations for expanding the number of targets in pain interventions. Insights on the safety and efficacy of chemical neurolysis versus radiofrequency procedures. Challenges and considerations in performing neurolytic blocks. Future directions in personalized treatment for chronic pain patients. For Anesthesia Board Prep go to AnesthesiaExam at NRAPpain.org Featured Article: Dr. Rosenblum references an article from The Korean Journal of Pain discussing the optimization of genicular nerve chemical ablation. Key takeaways include: The evolution of anatomical understanding related to genicular nerves. The recommendation to consider multiple targets for pain management instead of the traditional three. The need for careful patient examination to map pain effectively before intervention. Discussion on Knee Pain Management \u2022 ArticlebyAndresRochaRomero: \u2022 Discussion on knee pain targeting genicular nerve ablation. \u2022 Co-authored by Tony Ng and King K Stanley Lam. \u2022 Published in Korean Journal of Pain. \u2022 Highlights differences in pain management practices outside the U.S. Other Points on Genicular Nerve Chemical Ablation discussed Phenol ablation being used more internationally vs. radiofrequency ablations. Considerations for more extensive targeting of genicular nerves: \u2022 Importance of the median branch of the nerve to the vastus intermedius. \u2022 Expansion of targeting to include 6 nerves, not just 3. \u2022 Anatomical variations require different approaches. Recommendations and Observations \u2022 Importance of considering patient-specific anatomy and pain. \u2022 Repeat procedures and rehabilitation: \u2022 Concerns about bio intensity and fascia integrity. \u2022 Emphasizes muscle strengthening exercises to support knee. \u2022 CRPS Considerations: \u2022 Elderly patients may develop CRPS post-knee replacement. \u2022 Importance of lumbar sympathetic block in diagnosis and treatment. Host Bio: Dr. David Rosenblum, MD is an interventional pain physician based in New York City. With extensive experience in pain management techniques, Dr. Rosenblum is dedicated to advancing the field through education and innovative practices. He is particularly focused on the integration of ultrasound technology into pain management procedures. Course Information: Dr. Rosenblum's upcoming ultrasound courses are CME supported, monthly hands on workshops to give clinicians experience with ultrasound imaging to identify targets for nerve block joint injection, soft tissue injection and more.. \u2022 Monthly IV Ultrasound Course in Manhattan: \u2022 Ideal for nurses, PAs, anesthesiologists, ER docs. \u2022 Provides practice with phantoms, short lecture on IV ultrasound. \u2022 Offers CME credits. \u2022 Ultrasound Courses: \u2022 Held one Saturday a month, mostly in New York, but travels if needed. \u2022 Upcoming dates: December 21st, January 11th in Manhattan. \u2022 Presentation Invitation at Pain Expo in Dubai: April 26-27. \u2022   \u2022 Next LAPS conference in September in Chile.
