One-on-One Ultrasound Regional Anesthesia Workshop
“Tailored to Your Practice Needs”
This one-day workshop was developed for both novice and advanced providers who would like to either learn the basics or further their skills in ultrasound guided regional anesthesia. Participants will have up to eight (8) hours hands-on ultrasound scanning on live models of different body habitus to learn and identify different sono-anatomy pertaining to regional anesthesia. A pre-course reading material will be provided to minimize didactic portion of the workshop. At the end of the workshop, a participant will be expected to have gained thorough knowledge and immense confidence in the use of ultrasound for regional anesthesia.
Learning Objectives
As a result of participating in this workshop, physicians should be able to:
Describe and discuss the basic principles of ultrasound
Identify normal sono-anatomy and aberrations
Describe nerve block selection for specific surgeries
Increase the ability to detect critical structures and improve patient safety while performing regional anesthesia
Demonstrate needle insertion techniques for ultrasound guided nerve blocks, both in-plane and out-of-plane
Improve block success rate and patient satisfaction
Perform spinal/epidural imaging with ultrasound

FAQ
Q: Why would one choose to a private one-on-one session? The benefits of a private course compared to a group course are:
Individualized attention 😍

Q: How many hours of hands-on scanning is included? The workshop entails 100% hands-on training. Didactic material is sent once registered, to maximize the hands-on training part.
Q: Will there be any cadaver training? All scanning is done on live models (of different body habitus) and needling practice is done on phantoms. No cadaver training is involved.
Q: What are the training hours? 8 AM-2 PM on a Saturday or Sunday
Q: What ultrasound machines are used for training? Training is done with the latest Sonosite LX and GE V-scan Air (handheld) ultrasound machines, offering the best image quality currently available.
