A

space between transversus abdominis and internal oblique muscles

32
Q

1

A

transverse abdominis muscle

33
Q

2

A

internal oblique muscle

34
Q

3

A

external oblique muscle

35
Q

the TAP plane is superficial to ________ and deep to ______

A

the TAP plane is superficial to the transversus abdominis and deep to internal oblique

36
Q

TAP requires how many injections

A

2 total: 1 injection per side

37
Q

TAP: first “pop”

A

fascia between external and internal obliques

38
Q

TAP: second “pop”

A

internal oblique and transverse abdominus

39
Q

where do abdominal nerves travel

A

to the midline of the abdomen

40
Q

rectus sheath block

A

inject between the rectus muscle and posterior rectus sheath

41
Q

lower abdominal nerves

A

ilioinguiinal
iliohypogastric
genitofemoral

(L1-L2/3)

42
Q

lower abdominal nerves innervate

A

the lower abdominal region in the groin area

43
Q

TAP coverage

A

T10-L1
(lower abdominal area)

44
Q

is the TAP a bilateral or unilateral block

A

TAP only covers 1 side
need to block bilaterally for full coverage

45
Q

46
Q

TAP risk from volume of block

A

higher risk of LAST

47
Q

QL block coverage

A

T7-L1
(entire abdominal area)

48
Q

is the QL a unilateral or bilateral block

A

bilateral - must anesthetize both sides

49
Q

QL volume

A

high volume = higher change of LAST

50
Q

QL block injection site

A

around the QL muscle

51
Q

TAP block anesthesia

A

somatic only

Q

QL block anesthesia

A

somatic and visceral

53
Q

which block has a longer duration of analgesia: QL or TAP?

54
Q

QL block duration

55
Q

TAP duration

56
Q

which block is good for midline coverage?

A

rectus sheath block

57
Q

ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric block coverage

varicocele

A

enlargement of veins that cary blood away from testicle

60
Q

varicocele treatment

A

varicocelectomy to reduce testicle pain and increase fertility

61
Q
