Don't do TAP blocks often. Only did a couple in residency. Know quite well how to do them, and which pts may benefit. My problem is just visualizing the needle esp in obese pts. I use a 21 g 4 in stimuplex needle.
Are you guys just using Touhys?
Might have to check our supply room for prepackaged Tuohy needles. If you use a Tuohy, do u just attach the local filled syringe directly to Tuohy or connect some tubing between Tuohy and syringe?
Easier to see Tuohy? Easier to feel "pop" into fascia between muscle?
