Medical Practice Technical Challenges
Anaesthesia: An Ultrasound Guided Regional Experience
The 4-Step Simulation Approach
21-M03
May 14th 2021 - May 15th 2021
COURSE COORDINATORS
Hugo Trindade (MD)
COURSE PRESENTATION
The course allows for a full immersive UGRA simulation experience through four ground-breaking modules: Cadaver models - nerves, plexuses, its trajectories and surrounding structures will be subject of in-depth knowledge acquisition.
Live models - the key sono anatomical landmarks along with tips, tricks and pearls of high value basic blocks will be taught.
Phantom laboratory - organic and inorganic materials can be utilized by the participants to build an appropriate phantom that will allow a low-fidelity training.
Standardized simulated scenarios - allow participants to develop a management approach to UGRA-related complications and reinforce all desired non-technical skills.
Each module focuses on hands-on scanning and needling practice, performance assessment and instant instructor feedback. Gamification is an added feature, transforming this course into a healthy competition that will foster additional motivation and provide camaraderie and communication improvements.

TARGET AUDIENCE
The course is open to all anaesthesiologists and anaesthesiology residents
LEARNING OBJECTIVES >> KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO DEVELOP
- To correctly identify the main anatomic structures (upper limb, lower limb, thorax, abdomen) mandatory to perform the taught regional anaesthesia blocks.
- To correctly identify the main sono anatomic structures (upper limb, lower limb, thorax, abdomen) mandatory to perform the taught regional anaesthesia blocks.
- To adequately describe the blocks practiced on living models, namely the scanning, nerves pathway and ergonomic issues.
- To be able to create low fidelity simulators that are helpful at hand/eye coordination and needling practice.
- To be able to approach and manage the most common emergencies and complications of regional anaesthesia, as well as acquire the mandatory nontechnical skills
ADMISSION CRITERIA
