Shoulder joint dislocation can be reduced by a lot of explained maneuvers. Its better to learn them through some good videos from open source (YouTube and Vimeo) rather than memorizing

The various maneuvers for the reduction of a Dislocated Shoulder Joint are

1. Kochers Maneuver
2. FARES (Fast Reliable and Safe Technique)
3. Hennepin Technique (External Rotation Technique)
4. Milch Technique
5. Stimsons Technique (Gravitational Weight)
6. Hippodratic and Modified Hippocratic Technique
7. Cunningham Technique

Kochers Maneuver

Adduction-ExtRotation-Flexion-Internal Rotation

Lignocaine Associated Systemic Toxicity (LAST)

Lidocaine Associated Systemic Toxicity (LAST) Lidocaine Associated Systemic Toxicity (LAST) is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs due to the excessive absorption of local anesthetics, particularly lidocaine, into the systemic circulation. LAST can result from inadvertent intravascular injection, overdose, or rapid absorption from highly vascularized areas. Pathophysiology: Lidocaine, like other local anesthetics, works by blocking sodium channels, inhibiting the initiation and propagation of nerve impulses. However, when systemic levels of lidocaine become excessively high, these sodium channels are blocked in vital organs such as the heart and brain, leading to serious complications. Clinical Presentation: LAST can manifest with a variety of symptoms that often progress through two stages: Neurological Symptoms : Early signs include circumoral numbness, metallic taste, tinnitus, and dizziness. As toxicity increases, more severe symptoms such as seizures,...
