Release Date: February 21, 2022
Expiration Date: December 31, 2024

Statement of Need:
Dannemiller is an organization dedicated to the presentation of postgraduate education courses for the purpose of updating and reviewing all areas in the specialties of anesthesia and pain management.

For more than a decade, Dannemiller has sponsored numerous CME activities in the area of pain management. As a result of this experience, Dannemiller has had the opportunity to recruit experts from all disciplines involved in pain management.

Through evaluation of the Outcomes Studies Reports from these previously sponsored activities, which incorporated feedback from both attendees and experts, Dannemiller has carefully planned this CME activity to provide information that will enhance the attendee's ability to recognize, evaluate, and treat the patients with chronic pain.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, the participant should be able to:

• Define the structures typically encountered during the performance of ultrasound guided interscalene block of the brachial plexus.
• Defend the use of ultrasound for providing a reduction in the incidence of ipsilateral hemidiaphragmatic paralysis.
• Explain how ultrasound use has improved the success rates of some, but not all, brachial plexus block approaches.
