Learning Objectives :
As a result of participating in this activity, physicians and anesthetists should be able to:
• Describe and discuss the basic principles of ultrasound
• Identify normal sono-anatomy and aberrations
• Describe nerve block selection for specific surgeries
• Able to detect critical structures and improve patient safety while performing regional anesthesia
• Demonstrate needle insertion techniques for ultrasound guided nerve blocks, both in-plane and out-of-plane
• Improve block success rate and patient satisfaction

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
