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, avoid specific structures 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. 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 anesthesiology and ultrasound guided pain medicine skills.
