PERIPHERAL NEURAL BLOCKADE WORKSHOP (optional with additional fee)
This 3.5 hour workshop, scheduled for Sunday morning November 2 will provide hands-on instruction in a variety of upper and lower peripheral neural blockade techniques. The registrant will have the opportunity to interact with well-known experts in the field, utilizing live-model demonstration of landmarks in a small-group format. The workshop is limited to 40 participants, allowing for 4 groups of 10.
Peripheral Neural Blockade Workshop
James C. Crews, M.D., Director

7:30 - 8:00am Registration/Continental Breakfast
8:00 - 12:00pm Peripheral Neural Blockade Introduction
Group Assignment and Plan
4 stations, 45 minutes per station
(10:00-10:30 Break)
▪Upper extremity 1 - Supraclavicular, axillary - Joseph M. Neal, M.D.
▪Upper extremity 2 - Interscalene, infraclavicular -Thomas M. McCutchen, M.D.
▪Lower extremity 1 (supine) - Femoral, lateral distal sciatic (popliteal), saphenous - Robert S. Weller, M.D.
▪Lower extremity 2 (lateral) - Lumbar plexus block, Labat sciatic, subgluteal sciatic - James C. Crews, M.D.
Objective:
At the conclusion of this workshop, the learner will have a better understanding of PNB techniques regarding: the clinical applications of site specific regional anesthesia and pain management; the pertinent landmarks and anatomic features with the physiologic effects; and the associated techniques to minimize complications.
