Ultrasound Guided Peripheral Nerve Block Workshop
June 4, 2011
Please complete the online evaluation
Our first annual ultrasound guided peripheral nerve block workshop was held June 4, 2011 in Sacramento, California. The workshop objective was to provide a full day of hands on opportunties and instruction. This would enable participants to acquire a thorough knowledge of the imaging techniques. The workshop began with a presentation on The Physics of Ultrasound by Dr. Steve Macres and Dr. Ken Furukawa. The workshops followed; five in the morning and five in the afternoon, and covered above the clavicle nerve block, below the clavicle nerve block, femoral/saphenous nerve block, paravertebral nerve block, infragluteal sciatic nerve block, popliteal nerve block, epidural anatomy, TAP & Illioinguinal nerve block, acoustic artifact & sonopathology, and ultrasound billing. The conference wrap up provided an opportunity for a volunteer to practice a block in front on the entire group with the corresponding ultrasound image displayed on the screen. This prompted many questions and audience interaction. A few highlight photos are provided below. Mark your calendar and plan on attending in 2012.
