The use of ultrasound to guide nerve blocks and pain medicine procedures has increased dramatically over the last few years. Ultrasound provides anatomical detail and allows anesthesiologists and pain medicine physicians to follow needle trajectory, target specific locations, and observe the spread of local anesthetic - all in real-time.
The techniques and skills required for ultrasound guided nerve blocks and pain medicine procedures take time to learn and master. Philips is committed to providing innovative, high quality educational tools and programs to support your learning.
Philips Ultrasound Guided RA/PM Tutorials
Each of the Philips Ultrasound Guided RA/PM Tutorials is authored by an expert in the field of ultrasound guided regional anesthesia and pain medicine. The tutorials are presented in an interactive and easy to use format.
