Report 1 Procedure: Trigger Point Injection Anesthesia: Local and MAC Complications: None Procedure: The 48-year old white female was brought to the procedure suite. After reviewing the risks, benefits, and alternatives to the procedure, she decided to proceed with the trigger point injection. Her upper back was sterilely prepped. I isolated the muscle in spasm and used a 25-guage 5 inch needle to perform an aspiration of the area, which was negative. Then 4.0 cc of Marcaine .5 percent was injected into three trigger points. She tolerated the procedure very well. Report 2 Procedure: Right prepatellar bursal injection Anesthesia: MAC Complications: None This 57-year-old black male has acute prepatellar bursitis.
