The Course, organised by John
Hammond Department of Anaesthesia, East Surrey Hospital,
in
association with Infomed, was fully booked a month in advance,
attracting over 90 attendees, Faculty and exhibitors. It was a
great success. Attendees were particularly
impressed with the workshops
and the live demos.
The eight workshops, all small
groups, included demos of US and nerve mapping pens, with plenty
of opportunities for questions and answers and hands on
experience.
Workshops covered: The Brachial
Plexus; Ultrasound Approaches to Brachial Plexus; Nerve Blocks
to the Arm; Abdomen and Thorax; Proximal Lower Limb Blocks;
Distal Lower Limb Blocks; and Chronic Pain Blocks.
The second day featured a two-way
video link between the Course lecture theatre and the two
Redwood Operating Theatres, allowing allowing attendees to see,
question and interact with Faculty performing live demos of a
variety of blocks.
These sessions included lives
demos of: Femoral and Popliteal Fossa Blocks; Suprascapular/Spf
Cervical Plexus; PSOAS Compartment Block; Hernia Block; Rectus
Sheath Block; Interpleural Block; Interscalene Block; Ankle
Block; Femoral at the groin and Sciatic
Raj approach; Vertical
Infraclavicular Block; Axillary Block; Supraclavicular
Perivascular.
The live demos were recorded to DVDs,
allowing Faculty and attendees to replay the demos and discuss
these in smaller groups during the Break Out Sessions.
