Virtual Cadaver Laboratory—Anatomy Pearls in Regional Anesthesia to Improve Clinical Success

Abstract

Learning Objectives: As a result of completing this activity, the participant will be able to Compare highlighted anatomic structures in photographs of fresh tissue dissections with anatomic structures on ultrasound images Summarize the anatomic relationships of nerves to surrounding structures that facilitate placement of nerve blocks and improve clinical efficacy of regional anesthesia Examine, at a gross anatomy level, why some nerve blocks are more appropriate than others for specific surgeries of the upper and lower extremity Recognize anatomic variations in ultrasound images and cadaver dissections and correlate how these variations affect regional anesthesia
