Relevant information

In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine and NYSORA. Postgraduate Institute for Medicine is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.

Physician Continuing Medical Education
The Postgraduate Institute for Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of 13.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Continuing Nursing Education
The maximum number of ANCC Nursing credit hours awarded for this Continuing Nursing Education activity is 13.25 contact hours. Pharmacotherapy contact hours for Advance Practice Registered Nurses will be designated on your certificate.

Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest
Postgraduate Institute for Medicine (PIM) requires faculty, planners, and others in control of educational content to disclose all their financial relationships with ineligible companies. All identified financial relationships are thoroughly vetted and mitigated according to PIM policy. PIM is committed to providing its learners with high quality accredited continuing education activities and related materials that promote improvements or quality in healthcare and not a specific proprietary business interest of an ineligible company.

What is a CME activity? A Continuing Medical Education(CME) activity serves to maintain, develop, or increase the knowledge, skills, and professional performance and relationships that a physician uses to provide services for patients, the public, or the profession.

Why do physicians need continuing medical education (CME) credit? Physicians use CME credit to demonstrate that they have participated in educational activities and obtained CME credit to document meeting the requirements of state medical boards, medical specialty societies, specialty boards, hospital medical staffs, the Joint Commission, insurance groups, and others

How are CME credits tracked for physicians? There is no centralized tracking of AMA PRA credits. Each accredited CME provider is required to keep records of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ claimed by physicians who participate in their activities for six years from the date of completion of the activity. Because credits may be obtained from a variety of accredited CME providers, physicians should maintain a record of their CME credits from all sources.

What documentation does a physician receive for participating in a certified CME activity provided by an accredited CME provider? Accredited CME providers are required to make available documentation of credits claimed by physicians at their request, but there is no requirement for a specific type of documentation to be used. Many accredited CME providers will issue a credit certificate at the completion and evaluation of an activity.

Nurse Practitioners credit? The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) accept CME from organizations accredited by the ACCME.

Learning objectives

  • Analyze and implement anesthesia and analgesia protocols for high-volume hip and knee surgeries, including the use of PENG blocks, spinal vs. general anesthesia comparisons, and strategies for managing persistent postoperative pain.
  • Evaluate emerging technologies and techniques in regional and spinal anesthesia to improve patient outcomes, including developments in ultrasound guidance, cryoablation, and novel drug delivery systems.
  • Compare anesthetic strategies in complex surgical populations, such as patients with aortic stenosis or those undergoing orthopedic and cardiac procedures, to inform safer and more effective clinical decisions.
  • Integrate enhanced recovery protocols and opioid-sparing strategies into perioperative care, with a focus on minimizing postoperative nausea, rebound pain, and opioid use.
  • Apply current evidence and expert insights to optimize airway management, sedation practices, and analgesia, particularly through the use of video laryngoscopy, dexmedetomidine, and nerve block techniques.
  • Demonstrate proficiency in regional anesthesia planning and delivery, including block selection, volume dosing, equipment utilization, and workflow optimization in ambulatory and inpatient settings.
