This episode breaks down the brachial plexus approaches boards actually tests, the truncal and lower extremity blocks showing up in modern multimodal protocols, and the complication patterns examiners use as answer traps. In this episode: The four brachial plexus approaches and why phrenic nerve risk drops as you move from interscalene to axillary Why adductor canal block has replaced femoral nerve block for TKA, and the volume myths that trip up test-takers The LAST risk hierarchy by injection site, and the Exparel interaction rules boards loves to test FREE RESOURCES: SEE/NCE Study Plan — A structured, week-by-week plan to pass your boards GPCR Cheat Sheet — G-protein coupled receptors decoded for anesthesia.
