Regional Anesthesia Skills Lab

This hands-on, interactive skills lab will focus on a variety of easily performed regional nerve blocks which can be used for numerous assorted wounds and injuries involving the hands, feet and face, and even teeth.

• Review the basic anatomy and innervation patterns of the hand, foot and face
• Discuss the medications used for nerve blocks
• Learn the indications and contraindications as well as complications in the performance of these nerve blocks
