Listen as Dr. Elizabeth Malinzak, APSF Liaison to the OpenAnesthesia Editorial Board, is interviewed by Dr. Alli Bechtel of the APSF, our content collaborator and section affiliate.

Show Notes: Welcome to the next installment of the Anesthesia Patient Safety podcast hosted by Alli Bechtel. This podcast will be an exciting journey towards improved anesthesia patient safety.
Dr. Elizabeth Malinzak takes us behind the scenes of a fascinating educational initiative bridging knowledge gaps in anesthesiology. As a pediatric anesthesiologist at Duke University and liaison between the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation and Open Anesthesia, she’s spearheaded the development of over 30 patient safety and quality improvement summaries designed for today’s learners.
Malinzak reflects on crucial topics like crisis resource management, fatigue mitigation, and handover protocols that weren’t part of traditional training. This educational void inspired her to create accessible, concise resources that meet modern learning preferences. Gone are the days of textbook deep-dives; today’s professionals need searchable, digestible content they can absorb between cases or during brief study sessions.
What makes these summaries particularly valuable is their breadth and collaborative development. Each summary is peer-reviewed and often created through mentoring relationships between experienced clinicians and trainees, creating educational value beyond the finished product.
Malinzak offers a clarifying perspective on how quality improvement relates to patient safety: “Patient safety is the goal… That’s what we want to accomplish with every single patient. Quality improvement is the process… how we get to the goal.” As anesthesiologists face increasingly complex cases and efficiency pressures, this distinction helps practitioners develop systematic approaches to protect vulnerable patients. Looking ahead, she envisions technologies like AI reducing administrative burdens so clinicians can focus entirely on vigilant patient care. Discover these valuable resources by visiting Open Anesthesia’s website and filtering for patient safety topics – you never know which summary might teach you something new today.
We hope that you will check out OpenAnesthesia.org and the OA Summaries.

-
Axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy
-
Abdominal surgery
-
Hip surgery
-
Thoracic neuropathic pain relief
Unique Contraindications:
-
Localized active infectious process at injection site
-
Extensive tissue depth between skin and transverse process limiting visualization of transverse process
Unique Complications:
-
Pneumothorax
-
Lower extremity motor weakness if performed at lower thoracic level
Technique:
-
Transverse probe at midline of the spine and identify spinous process, lamina, transverse process and rib
-
Slide probe laterally and center view over transverse process
-
Rotate probe 90 degrees to parasagittal view of transverse process
-
Insert needle from cranial to caudal direction and contact transverse process
-
Inject local anesthetic aiming for pooling above transverse process and lifting of erector spinae muscle. For this video, 30 ml of Ropivacaine 0.5% was used.
Tips:
-
Other postural positions (i.e. prone or lateral) may facilitate placement
-
Although the T5 transverse process had been the traditional plane of insertion, the block can be performed at any level
-
Rostral spread 2-3 levels and approximately 5 levels caudally
-
Ultrasound identification/differentiation of the target transverse process and its transition to its adjacent rib can ensure injection at the correct site
-
Transverse process appears as blunt and flat while the rib is seen as round on ultrasound with pleura clearly seen in close proximity
-
Constant visualization of the needle along its entire length until its contact to the transverse process may decrease the likelihood of a pneumothorax
-
Consider use of weight-appropriate dose of local anesthetic to decrease the likelihood of LAST
