Next Step Interventional Ultrasound: Hands-On PM&R Applications
In-Person Event
Aug 24 - 25, 2018
Chicago, Illinois, USA
OVERVIEW
Next Step Interventional Ultrasound: Hands-On PM&R Applications is organized by American Academy of Physical Medicine And Rehabilitation (AAPM&R) and will be held from Aug 24 - 25, 2018 at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab - Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is Physicians who care for patients with neurologic or musculoskeletal diseases and have an intermediate knowledge of ultrasound. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 15.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Course Description :
Take your ultrasound experience to the next level with this cadaver-based course, intended for the intermediate physiatric ultrasonographer. This course will highlight joint injections, soft tissue injections, and identification of muscles commonly targeted in EMG or spasticity management. A combination of didactic lectures coupled with hands-on guided procedures using cadaveric specimens and dry lab stations will be used to advance your skill set. Expert faculty will guide small groups in performing the most common ultrasound-guided procedures for a physiatrist.
Course Objectives :
At the completion of this course, participants will be able to:
• Describe the value and limitations of ultrasound as a diagnostic and interventional tool.
• Produce an optimal ultrasound image of specific structures in live patients and in a cadaver for preparation for an ultrasound-guided injection by demonstrating a command of knowledge over transducer orientation and adjusting ultrasound picture for depth, focal zone, gain, time-gain compensation, frequency, and beam steering.
• Accurately direct a needle towards targeted structures using MSK ultrasound.
• Accurately palpate specified bony landmarks and soft tissue structures required for a comprehensive musculoskeletal physical exam using MSK ultrasound for feedback. Accurately identify needle insertion points based on surface anatomy required for electrodiagnostic and spasticity management injections.
• Accurately identify needle insertion points based on surface anatomy required for electrodiagnostic and spasticity management injections.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
