Cervical procedures -
- Intraarticular facet injections from C2-3 and below
- Interlaminar Epidural Injections

Sacral Procedures -

Coolief Rhizotomy
- Nerve blocks and Coolief rhizotomy for knee, SI joint, and shoulder. Hip more rarely.
Joints under fluoro
- SI joint
- Intraarticular hip
- GT bursa
- Sometimes knees and ankles
Spinal cord stim trials with Boston Scientific leads, but those could probably wait to be scheduled for after the physician gets back if they aren't familiar with them.
Support
LOTS of support. The patient gets registered, and then the nurses admit the patient (vitals, go over meds, etc). Two nurses or a nurse and a CNA in the procedure room at all times - they bring the patient down to the suite, do time out, introduce me/ask if patient has questions, position the patient, prep the skin, open the sterile field/equipment, hold the med bottles while I draw up the meds. Xray tech present at all times to operate the C arm. Once the procedure is over, the nurses apply band aids if needed, get patient off the table, and bring them back to the recovery area, and turn the room over quickly for the next procedure.
