WEBINAR SERIES CONTENT
The first of its kind anywhere, this exciting webinar series will familiarize you with a range of topics within the relatively new and rapidly-evolving field of ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia. Taught by world-renowned experts, each session will introduce you to different ultrasound-guided regional anesthetic techniques that can be used to provide anesthesia and analgesia for commonly-preformed surgical procedures in small animals. Topic areas include epidural anesthesia, peripheral nerve blocks of the thoracic and pelvic limbs, and fascial plane blocks of the abdomen and thorax. Pertinent literature will be considered; however the main focus of each session will be to introduce you to these ultrasound-guided techniques and how to successfully incorporate use of these blocks into clinical practice. Through in-depth discussions of anatomy, drug selection, required equipment, what are the desired ultrasound images to obtain, and expected effects and contraindications, you will develop a working understanding of these important new techniques and how you can use these blocks to contribute to multimodal pain management and balanced anesthesia in your own small animal patients.
This series covers the following 7 topics that have conveniently been split up into 2 ½-hour weekly sessions that cover:
- Introduction to Ultrasound-guided Regional Anesthetic Techniques
- Stifle & Distal Pelvic Limb Surgery
- Proximal Pelvic Limb Surgery
- The Thoracic Limb
- Epidural Anesthesia
- Interfascial Plane Blocks & The Abdomen
- The Trunk

Course Program
"Top experts on LRA in Vet Medicine, very engaging and with a different approach to the topic."
Hamaseh Tayari, ChesterGates Veterinary Specialists
Webinar Series - Small Animal-U/sound-Guided Regional Anesthetic Techniques 2021
"Very knowledgable speaker with comprehensive slides and notes"
Annette Kerins, Northwest Veterinary Specialists, UK
Webinar Series - Small Animal-U/sound-Guided Regional Anesthetic Techniques 2021
"Have successfully performed my first epidural in a dog using the technique described in the course including the use of tuohy needle. Really felt the 'pop'. Surgical outcome for TTA surgery was excellent. I had a colleague who did epidurals but he has left so it is great that we can continue to offer our TTA patients a great level of analgesia. Planning to use some of the other techniques described during the course as well- it's been very useful and excellent value with great speakers."
