AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
• To equip anaesthetists with the knowledge, skills, and decision-making to safely plan, perform, and manage ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia for the upper limb, lower limb, chest and trunk throughout the perioperative period.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Core Principles, Safety, and Foundational Skills:
• USS Optimisation - Understand how to achieve high-quality ultrasound imaging and recognise common artefacts on live models.
• Coagulation Management - Apply current RCoA/RA-UK guidelines for regional anaesthesia to patients with antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy.
• Inadequate Block Management - Develop a stepwise approach to managing an inadequate regional block in the awake patient or in recovery, including rescue options.
Regional Block Application and Independent Practice:
• Upper Limb Block - Independently perform pre-block scanning, anatomical location, and planning for Interscalene, Supra-/Infraclavicular, or Axillary blocks.
• Lower Limb Block - Independently perform pre-block scanning, anatomical identification, and planning for Femoral, FIB, Adductor Canal, or Popliteal Sciatic blocks.
• Chest Wall and Trunk Blocks - Identify sono-anatomical landmarks for TAP, Rectus Sheath, ESP and Serratus Anterior Plane blocks.
