Interventional Ultrasound Pain Management Techniques: A Head-To-Toe, Comprehensive, Live Model Workshop

Interventional Ultrasound Pain Management Techniques: A Head-To-Toe, Comprehensive, Live Model Workshop is organized by Dannemiller and will be held during Feb 24 - 25, 2018 at Linron Bioskills Training Institute, San Antonio, Texas, United States of America.

The target audience for this medical event is practicing Anesthesiologists, pain physicians, sports trained physicians, physiatrists who wish to incorporate ultrasound pain management techniques into their practice. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 15.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

Course Description:
Interventional Pain Management is an evolving area of medicine that plays an important role within the application of multimodal pain treatment. Interventional Pain Management now encompasses a variety of image-guided percutaneous procedures and minimally invasive surgery of the spine. Proper application of such procedures has the potential to significantly improve quality of life in patients with both cancer-related and non-malignant pain syndromes.

Conference Objectives are :

• Recognize the mechanism by which ultrasonography works.
• Apply techniques for optimizing imaging and needle localization while using ultrasound guidance.
• List the benefits and drawbacks of ultrasonography as compared with fluoroscopy regarding interventional pain procedures.
• Demonstrate ultrasound-guided peripheral joint and bursa injections, along with their indications.
• Demonstrate ultrasound-guided spine procedures in the cervical and lumbar spine.
• Demonstrate ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks throughout the body, including extremity, truncal, and head and neck blocks.
• Summarize regenerative medicine and its benefits to patients with chronic pain conditions.
