Perioperative pain management
A day of theory and a day of practice. Assessment and management of intra- and postoperative pain, constant rate infusions (CRI) in practice, regional anaesthesia in specific procedures, and on the second day — learning ultrasound-guided blocks, epidural anaesthesia, and sciatic and femoral nerve blocks.
We will publish the detailed programme for this session soon. Add the course to your favourites — we will let you know by e-mail when a date is announced.
Physiology and pathophysiology of somatic and visceral pain in the perioperative setting. Assessment of intraoperative and postoperative pain.
Management of intraoperative and postoperative pain: pharmacology (when, what and how), what to combine and what not to combine, CRI (constant rate analgesic infusions — in practice), sample protocols for selected surgical procedures.
Basic principles and pharmacology of local anaesthetics. Regional blocks in selected procedures (OVH, LOVE, castration, splenectomy, enterectomy, cystotomy, mastectomy, nephrectomy, adrenalectomy, TPLO) — participants choose the procedures that interest them most. Discussion of the regional anaesthesia techniques used in these procedures.
Theoretical overview of the blocks we will perform. Learning ultrasound-guided blocks: spermatic cord block and intratesticular anaesthesia, rectus sheath block, transversus abdominis plane block (subcostal, lateral and retrocostal approaches), serratus plane block.
Epidural anaesthesia: L7–S1 approach and S3–Cd1 approach, ultrasound-guided. Sciatic and femoral nerve anaesthesia. Selected regional blocks indicated for procedures of interest to participants.
