This comprehensive lecture series provides an in-depth exploration of regional anesthesia, focusing on both foundational principles and advanced clinical applications. Designed for first-time learners or anesthesia providers seeking to refine their skills, the course covers the anatomy, pharmacology, and techniques essential to effective regional anesthesia.
Through a structured series of lectures, participants will learn the indications, contraindications, and complications of neuraxial and peripheral nerve blocks, with emphasis on ultrasound-guided techniques. Special sessions will highlight region-specific approaches (upper extremity, lower extremity, trunk, and neuraxial blocks), patient selection, and strategies for optimizing perioperative analgesia and outcomes.
Participants will gain the theoretical knowledge necessary to integrate regional anesthesia safely and effectively into their clinical practice, supported by case-based discussions and current literature reviews. show less
Objectives
- Compare and contrast different regional anesthesia techniques in terms of efficacy, safety, and clinical outcomes.
- Demonstrate an understanding of technique selection for upper extremity, lower extremity, trunk, and neuraxial blocks based on surgical procedure and patient factors.
- Describe the relevant anatomy for commonly performed regional anesthesia techniques, including neuraxial and peripheral nerve blocks.
- Identify appropriate indications and contraindications for various regional anesthesia techniques across surgical and non-surgical settings.
- Interpret ultrasound images and apply sonoanatomy to accurately identify nerve structures and guide needle placement.
- Recognize and manage potential complications of regional anesthesia, including local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST), nerve injury, infection, and hematoma.
