Ophthalmic Regional Block Hands-on Workshop (Nov, 2017)

OVERVIEW
Ophthalmic Regional Block Hands-on Workshop is organized by Northwest Anesthesia Seminars (NWAS) and would be held during Nov 18 - 19, 2017 at Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress, Orlando, Florida, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event are physicians, certified registered nurse anesthetists, and physician assistants who need to obtain or refresh their ophthalmic anesthesia knowledge and skills. This CME conference has been approved with a maximum of 14 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Ophthalmic block techniques have long been relegated to the ophthalmologist and the techniques for performing these regional blocks have been omitted from curricula in both nurse and physician anesthesia residency programs. Due to the increasing volume of ophthalmic procedures being performed, the ophthalmologists are now requesting anesthesia professionals provide this service.
This course is designed to provide the didactics of pharmacology, toxicity, anatomy, physiology, techniques, management, and complications of ophthalmic regional blocks.
Simulation training, 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.
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to:
• 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.
