I have seen so many things over the years, just was wondering if we could get some kind of survey out for what everyone does..I bring this up bc an ASC in Colorado was recently sued ($14 mil) bc one of the pain docs used kenelog in the epidural space.

I don't ever use it in the epidural space, but have def seen people do it..so thought I'd throw this question out.
In GENERAL...normal patient, no significant comborbidities what do you inject for the following: and this is it not to criticize people's technique or approach, just to learn different styles
Cervical MBNB (diagnostic)
-bupi 0.25% only
Cervical MB RFA (before and after burn)
-lido 2% before burn, dex + bupi after
Cervical ESI
-dexamethsone 10mg + PF normal saline
Lumbar MBNB (diagnostic)
-bupi 0.25%
Lumbar MB RFA
-lido 2% before burn, kenelog+ bupi after
Lumbar ESI
-dex 10mg + 1cc 0.25% bupi + saline
Caudal ESI
-Dex 10mg + 1cc 0.25% bupi + saline
