  • Networking in Stunning Locales: Connect with peers and experts in some of the world’s most breathtaking locations, carefully chosen for their blend of beauty and convenience.
  • State-of-the-Art Resources: Dive into NYSORA’s latest Ultrasound Anatomy(c) illustrations, animations, clinical videos, anatomical dissections, techniques, algorithms, and more.
  • Convenience and Comfort: Our venues are strategically located near major transport hubs, city attractions, and offer inspiring views, top-tier equipment, and an environment conducive to learning and networking.
  • Flexible Scheduling: To maximize your experience, educational sessions are scheduled from 8am to 10am and 5pm to 7pm, allowing you ample time to explore, relax, or network.

 

Why you should attend

Attend this event to gain essential insights into enhancing procedural accuracy with pre-procedural ultrasound for neuraxial anesthesia and optimizing patient safety through a thorough understanding of local anesthetic options and their associated risks and benefits for spinal anesthesia. Learn practical techniques for executing motor-sparing distal upper extremity nerve blocks and rescuing failed brachial plexus blocks. Discover strategies for effective patient risk discussion, reducing wrong-site blocks, and fostering a culture of safety in your institution. Additionally, explore how to efficiently use ultrasound to assess lung conditions and develop strategies to minimize peripheral nerve injuries related to regional anesthesia. Gain confidence in your clinical practice and network with peers to exchange best practices in anesthesia care.

Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your skills, network with the best, and immerse yourself in an unparalleled learning environment.

Registration to our regional Anesthesia CME Conference includes complimentary 6-month access to the NYSORA REGIONAL ANESTHESIA MANUAL e-COURSE (formerly Compendium of RA) worth $99.95. Regional Anesthesia Manual e-Course is a revolutionary learning platform loaded with visuals and tips, and you can make your own scripts and prepare for the course.

There are no Reviews for this Event.

Learning objectives:

  • Identify the common views used for pre-procedural ultrasound of the neuraxial.
  • Relate the risks and benefits of various short and intermediate acting local anesthetics for spinal anesthesia.
  • Discuss the functional regional anesthesia anatomy related to the distal upper extremity.
  • Describe how to execute distal peripheral nerve block for motor sparing anesthesia or failed brachial plexus block rescue.
  • Review how to facilitate effective risk discussion with patients.
  • Discuss strategies that may decrease wrong sited block and increase the culture of safety in their institution.
  • Relate the risk factors for wrong sited blocks.
  • Identify strategies can increase efficiency and decrease costs.
