APS fellow/staff might need to insert pain catheters in weekends. This has been done in the PACU and M2 block room for patients who come from the ward. Patients in ICU in need of nerve blocks are done in the ICU. Block room access can be gained from key that is kept at the OR clerk’s desk. The APS MD might require assistance from the on-call team for positioning/sedation/technical support. Assistance can be requested from the 1st or 2nd call anesthesiologist to provide additional help when needed.
