Ultrasound Guided Regional Anesthesia Workshop (Jan 25, 2020)

Ultrasound Guided Regional Anesthesia Workshop is organized by Arun Kalava, USF Health’s Office of Continuing Professional Development (OCPD) and will be held on Jan 25, 2020 at AC Hotel by Marriott Tampa Airport, Tampa, Florida, United States of America. 

Target Audience:
Anesthesiologists, Emergency Physicians, Residents, Fellows, Nurse Anesthetists, Anesthesiologists Assistants

Accreditation:
USF Health designates this live activity for a maximum of 7.75 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Prerequisites:
MD / DO / CRNA / AA

Description:
• One Day Intensive Course
• Faculty are Mayo Clinic Regional Anesthesiology Fellowship Trained Anesthesiologists
• Basics of Ultrasound: Gain, Depth, Probe selection, Scanning techniques, Needle localization
• Upper Extremity Nerve Blocks: 1) Interscalene, 2) Supraclavicular, 3) Infraclavicular, 4) Axillary
• Truncal Blocks: 1) PECS I & II, 2) SubCostal TAP 3) Classical TAP 4) Quadratus Lumborum (QL) Block, 5) Rectus Sheath Block 6) Epidural & Spinal
• Lower Extremity Nerve Blocks: 1) Femoral Nerve Block 2) Fascia Iliaca Block, 3) Saphenous/ Adductor Canal Block 4) Sciatic (Popliteal & Subgluteal) Block 5) Ankle Block
• New Blocks: 1) Anterior Supraclavicular 2) Erector Spinae Plane Block 3) Serratus Anterior Plane Block 4) IPACK block 6) PENG Block
• Multiple Adult and Pediatric Live Models for Scanning
• Techniques: In-plane and Out-of- plane techniques and Nerve Catheter Placement

This 1day intensive workshop has been developed for both novices and advanced providers who would like to either learn the basics or further advance their skills in ultrasound guided regional anesthesia. Participants will have up to 6 hours of hands on ultrasound scanning on live models of different body habitus to learn and identify different sono-anatomy pertaining to regional anesthesia. A pre-course reading material will be provided to minimize didactic portion of the workshop. At the end of the workshop, you will be expected to have gained thorough knowledge and immense confidence in the use of ultrasound for regional anesthesia.

Learning Objectives:
As a result of participating in this activity, the learner will be able to:
• Describe and discuss the basic principles of ultrasound
• Identify normal sono-anatomy and aberrations
• Describe nerve block selection for specific surgeries
• Increase the ability 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
• Perform spinal/epidural imaging with ultrasound 

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
