Description
Advanced ultrasound guided nerve blocks for analgesia of the neck & shoulder, upper & lower limb, and the trunk.
The advanced curriculum is for a specialist anesthetist who works with USG regional anesthesia on a daily basis and performs the basic ultrasound guided nerve blocks routinely and who wants to master a more comprehensive armamentarium of blocks.
All advanced ultrasound guided nerve blocks are also performed using ultrasound guided nerve localisation, a high-frequency linear probe, in-plane needle approach, and short-axis target nerve visualisation.

Superficial cervical plexus block
Deep cervical plexus block
Axillary nerve block
Suprascapular nerve block (neck & fossa supraspinatus)
Thoracic longus nerve block
Intercostobrachial nerve block
Median nerve block elbow/wrist
Ulnar nerve block elbow/wrist
Radial nerve block midhumeral/elbow
Musculocutaneous nerve block
Intercostal nerve block
Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block
Obturator nerve blocks
Genitofemoral nerve block
Posterior femoral cutaneous nerve block
Ankle block
PECS blocks
Serratus plane block
Fascia transversalis plane block
Rectus sheath block
Fascia iliaca compartment block
Caudal block
Thoracic paravertebral block
Quadratus lumborum block
The Advanced Ultrasound Guided Nerve Blocks e-learning course is a prerequisite for attending a USabcd hands-on Advanced Ultrasound Guided Nerve Blocks workshop.
