I've performed the TAP (Transversus Abdominus Plane) block a few times, but as an EM doc, I sometimes have a hard time finding a good application for it.
In this week's podcast, Dr. Kat Vlasica joins us again to enlighten us on some novel applications of the TAP block as well as introduce us to some variations on the TAP block: The subcostal TAP and the rectus sheath block. Check it out! (Link in profile.)
