Hey, folks, Scott Wyingard here, and this is the M-Krit podcast. Today on the podcast, we're going to

0:05.2

discuss still a ganglion block for refractory V-fib, V-TAC, and electrical storm for patients with or without

0:12.3

a pulse. And this one has been on the radar for a while. I've been waiting for there to

0:18.2

be some actual literature. People have been talking about this for a few years, but really in a literature free zone, there is literature now, and so I think we've got to do

0:25.4

the topic. This is not a hard nerve block, but you need to know your anatomy really well, and you

0:30.4

need to have the basic skills of needle localization, and then you'll be okay. I wanted to get a true expert on the topic on the show. So I got Bob Stenberg and I think it's

1:22.6

Reanimate is our resuscitative ECMO conference

1:25.5

with VA ECPR, Crash VV ECMO. It is in San Diego

1:30.8

every year. It is November 12th and 13th. And it sells out rapidly every single year. Every

1:38.4
