Organization of the material

Below are three ways to organize nerve block supplies. I think the easiest way is to design the shelf and then set up the cart.

To give you an idea, the shelf was in place in 1 month... and the trolley in 2 years!

Hardware envelopes

  • Quick to pick up and everything is there!

  • Who checks the expiration of the equipment?

  • Who fills the envelopes?

  • Wasting material?

  • Drug not incorporated...

Shelf with the necessary material

  • Requires moving to the shelf.

  • Medications can also be there.

  • Who does the filling?

Nerve block trolley

  • You can ask for him to be brought to the bedside.

  • Includes all equipment and medications.

  • I believe this is the best solution.

  • You can hang a reminder guide on it.

  • You can combine it with other tasks (we combined it with stitches).

  • Who does the filling?

  • More complex to set up and if you don't have a trolley, more expensive.

Summary guide

On top of the trolley there is also a laminated summary guide with:

  • How to fill the cart.

  • How to calculate local anesthetic doses.

  • Essential reminders for each of the frequent blocks (forearm, femoral, tib post.).
