Advanced Cadaveric Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia Workshop
Cadavers will be utilized for needling, ultrasound instruction, administration of block medium, and catheter insertions. Workshop content will consist of classroom lectures, hands-on demonstrations, “live” model scanning, and individualized instruction utilizing high faculty-to-attendee ratios.
The following topics will also be covered:
- Subpectoral interfacsial plane
- Modified PECS (PECs I/II)
- Paravertebral
- Erector Spinae
- TAP
- Quadratus lumborum 1,2,3 and the intramuscular
- Retrolaminar
- Rhomboid intercostal block
- PECS catheter using the RAPTIR approach
- Diagnosis and treatment of neurologic injury following a peripheral nerve block using anatomist and physical therapists.
- Neuromuscular assessment of neurologic injury guided by a physical therapist.
- Full anatomical dissection of clinically relevant anatomy related to advanced peripheral nerve blocks.
The following variations on infraclavicular blocks will be covered:
- RAPTIR
- Costoclavicular
- Combination of posterior cord (infraclavicular) and the suprascapular nerve block using the RAPTIR approach for a COPD patient undergoing shoulder surgery.
- Suprascapular (classic approach and supraclavicular approach)
- Axillary nerve at the quadrangular space
Anatomists from a local university (trained PhDs and DPTs) will be performing the dissections and instruction of the anatomy related specifically to regional anesthesia.
Faculty for the daylong workshop includes: Bill Johnson, DNAP, CRNA, Director of the MTSA Acute Surgical Pain Managment Fellowship; Stace Dollar, MS, CRNA; John M. Edwards, III, MS, CRNA; and MTSA Acute Pain Fellows.
