The use of ultrasound to guide nerve blocks has increased dramatically over the last few years. Ultrasound provides anatomical detail and allows anesthesiologists to follow needle trajectory, avoid specific structures, observe the spread of anesthetic - all in real-time.
The technique of ultrasound guided nerve blocks takes time to learn and to master. Attending a high quality, focused education and training program is an important component of the learning process. Philips is proud to support the educational programs listed below. Each program is specifically designed to provide high quality peer to peer education for physicians wanting to acquire or enhance ultrasound guided regional skills.
