8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.  Workshop Rotations

​

CRNAs will be provided a 4-hour hands-on educational seminar on the use of hands-on ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia. No lecture will be provided at the conference.  However, attendees will be required to review an online 60-minute lesson prior to the conference date.  The virtual and in-person workshop will qualify for 5 CEU credits.  Attendees will rotate through four stations at the meeting: 

​

• Station 1: Phantom targets. Needle approximation on gel based phantoms (low fidelity), knobology

• Station 2: Supraclavicular/interscalene live model scan

• Station 3: Transverse abdominis plane/PECs 1 & 2 block live model scan 

• Station 4: Adductor canal & popliteal live model scan

• ​

Program Objectives:

• Participants will increase fundamental knowledge of the sonoantomy of the brachial plexus

• Participants will gain insight into the sonoanatomy of the adductor canal and sciatic nerves of the legs

• Each course attendee will have the opportunity to enhance their needle approximation skills on phantom targets

• Course attendees will become familiar with basic scan optimization of the ultrasound machine using depth, focal zone, gain, and where appropriate dynamic range and color flow.

Space is limited for this workshop!  Register early.

Registration fee includes breakfast and refreshments.  Lunch is not included.
