Hands-on workshops for ultrasound-guided nerve blocks
ICEP presents a half-day program that aims to reduce the administration of opioids with ALTO techniques for pain management in the ED
Overview:
Nerve blocks are an effective way to treat a wide array of acute injuries while reducing the risks and side effects associated with systemic opioids. Ultrasound guidance facilitates a safer and more accurate performance, with access to nerves that are not traditionally performed with the blind/landmark-based technique.
