Abscess Basics: The Setup and Anesthesia

Part 1 in a Series   We are pleased to bring you our first full-length tutorial on abscess drainage. Part 1 of this series focuses on set up and basics for all beginners.   It is important to note that you should practice on injection techniques and how to properly hold instruments before draining your first abscess. No one likes a shaky, unsure hand. We also believe in the “see one, do one, teach one” mentality. Be sure to check out the stockroom at your facility so you, too, can become familiar with all of the equipment used to drain an abscess properly.   Stay tuned for next month’s blog when we get down to draining the real thing. We have every abscess from the neck down!   Now, on with the show!   Click here to watch our video.     Tags: emergency medicine, procedural pause, abscess, anesthesia, anesthesia for abscess drainingPublished: 2/12/2015 7:20:00 AM
