Orlando, Florida, USASpeakers
OVERVIEW
Ophthalmic Regional Block Hands-on Workshop is organized by Northwest Anesthesia Seminars (NWAS) and would be held during Apr 1 - 2, 2017 at Orlando, Florida, United States Of America.
This course is designed to provide the background of pharmacology, toxicity, anatomy, physiology, techniques, management, and complications of ophthalmic regional blocks. Furthermore, by way of individual "hands-on" practice under the guidance of a qualified instructor, using an anatomical model, the participant will become familiar with the actual techniques of performing the ophthalmic block techniques. This CME Conference has been approved with a maximum of 20 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Conference Objectives are :
• Review the orbital anatomy, cranial nerve pathways, vasculature, and axial lengths during the identification of each technique for ophthalmic regional block anesthesia and the anatomical landmarks for each injection site.
• Apply the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of local anesthetic agents in a discussion of the selection, dosing, and intervention for both local and systemic complications of ocular block. Update techniques for the management of the awake patient undergoing ocular surgery.
• Outline appropriate risk management, CQI, and departmental management programs for the provision of full ocular anesthesia service.
