Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia Course

Begin with pre-course eLearning before you arrive, which allows for maximum hands-on practice time with expert faculty once you are onsite.

Course curriculum includes a comprehensive suite of eLearning videos. These are an integral part of the program and should be completed prior to attending the weekend course.

The video modules will cover a variety of topics, some of which include:

• Basic ultrasound and needling approaches
• Ultrasound physics, artifacts, pitfalls, and complications
• General introduction, ultrasound-guided nerve blocks: Are they better than nerve stimulation?
• Upper limb nerve block options and evidence supporting their use
• Lower limb nerve blocks and ultrasound safety
• Sonoanatomy and techniques for truncal and chest
• Billing and documentation in different jurisdictions
• Local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST)

Once on site, you'll spend the bulk of the time doing hands-on practice in small groups with expert faculty leaders. You'll learn about each focused area via hands-on live model scanning as well as using meat phantom needling, clinical scenarios, and anatomy stations. As you rotate through the stations, you'll be able to practice on upper limb, lower limb, and chest and trunk areas. You'll be supported by world-renowned faculty sharing their knowledge and experience in a highly interactive, small group learning environment.
