Objectives
After participating in this educational activity, participants will have an understanding of the clinical aspects of ultrasound anatomy, knowledge of the difference between ultrasound and nerve stimulation, and the choice of local anesthetics and dosing in the administration of brachial plexus blocks both above and below the clavicle, blocks of the abdomen, blocks of the lower extremities and paraspinal blocks. Participants will also have a better understanding of basic principles, knobology and sterility, and local anesthetic toxicity during ultrasound procedures, as well as knowledge of billing and business plans as they relate to ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia.
Target Audience
This program is designed for regional anesthesia practitioners currently using or wishing to use ultrasound technology in the administration of regional nerve blocks. All clinical lectures will address aspects of ultrasound anatomy, performance of the block, ultrasound versus nerve stimulation versus both, local anesthetic choice and dosing.
