Stop blocking on autopilot. A new learning series by GE HealthCare × Block It Like It’s Hot
GE HealthCare and Block It Like It’s Hot present a video series on ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia.
Less theory. More what actually works.
Watch Prof. Amit Pawa and Prof. Jeff Gadsden scan live and explain their top tips, from probe positioning to needle trajectory to anatomical assessment.
Starting with knee, hip, and shoulder blocks, you’ll gain practical strategies to:
Choose the right block for the right indication
Preserve motor function without compromising analgesia
Refine technique beyond textbook anatomy
Troubleshoot with confidence
Challenge how you think about every block. Fill out the form below to register.

Knee icon Stop blocking the knee like it’s 1999
Apr 28th at 8pm CET and 7pm EST
Knee analgesia is more than pain scores. Amit and Jeff walk through adductor canal and femoral triangle blocks, geniculars, iPACK, cutaneous blocks, and useful adjuncts, with a focus on mobility, recovery, and preserving motor function.
Hips icon Time to get hip with hip analgesia
Apr 29th at 8pm CET and 7pm EST
A practical review of femoral, fascia iliaca (infra- and suprainguinal), LFCN, and PENG blocks across hip fracture, arthroplasty, and ambulatory cases.
Shoulder icon Don't just shrug. Master modern shoulder blocks.
Apr 30th at 8pm CET and 7pm EST
Shoulder blocks require more than defaulting to interscalene. This session covers superior trunk, suprascapular, axillary, and cervical plexus approaches, with attention to recovery and respiratory considerations.
Ultrasound icon Ultrasound unplugged: Live-scanning masterclasses with Amit and Jeff
May 5th and May 12th both at 8pm CET
Amit and Jeff answer your questions live, showing key anatomy, probe positioning, needle paths, and real-world troubleshooting step by step.
 
 
 
 
Amit Pawa, MBBS, FRCA
Amit Pawa, MBBS, FRCA, is an internationally recognized leader in regional anesthesia and pain medicine whose passion for teaching is matched only by his knack for making complex concepts feel simple. As a professor and consultant anesthetist in London and past president of RA-UK, Amit has helped shape the way nerve blocks and ultrasound are practiced around the world. On the podcast, he brings equal parts expertise and wit — blending practical pearls, real-world stories, and the occasional laugh-out-loud moment. With Amit behind the mic, even the most technical topics feel approachable and engaging.
Jeff Gadsden, MD
Jeff Gadsden, MD, is a regional anesthesia enthusiast, educator, and storyteller who believes that medicine doesn’t have to be dry to be meaningful. As Chief of Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Medicine at Duke University, Jeff has spent his career teaching nerve blocks and ultrasound techniques to learners around the world. On the mic, he brings that same energy — mixing evidence-based insights with humor, curiosity, and the occasional bad dad joke. Whether he’s breaking down the latest techniques, swapping stories with expert guests, or translating complex science into practical pearls, Jeff’s goal is simple: to make regional anesthesia approachable, relevant, and (dare we say) fun.
