Ultrasound Guided Regional Anesthesia Workshop (Jun 25, 2022)

Ultrasound Guided Regional Anesthesia Workshop is organized by Arun Kalava and will be held on Jun 25, 2022 at Nova Southeastern University - Tampa Bay Regional Campus, Clearwater, Florida, United States of America.

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

Description:
This 1 day 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 get up to 6 hours of hands-on ultrasound scanning on live models of various body types to understand and recognise diverse sonoanatomy related to regional anaesthetic. To minimise the didactic element of the programme, pre-course reading materials will be provided. You should have a good understanding of how to use ultrasonography for regional anaesthetic at the end of the programme.

Learning Objectives:
In order to complete this illuminative activity, participants will be better able to:
• Explain and discuss the fundamentals of ultrasound
• Recognize a typical sono?anatomy and aberrations both
• Describe how to choose a nerve block for a specific surgery
• Improve patient safety by increasing the ability to detect important structures when providing regional anaesthetic
• Demonstrate in-plane and out-of-plane needle insertion techniques for ultrasound guided nerve blocks
• Increase the rate of block success and patient satisfaction
• Use ultrasonography to do spinal/epidural imaging
