Twin Oaks Anesthesia is pleased to offer this Spinal and Epidural workshop with emphasis on ultrasound. This newly designed course features hands-on stations for spinal and epidural placement but also includes ultrasound for the OB anesthesia provider. Hands on practice sessions include:
Actual placement of spinals and epidurals on task trainers
Ultrasound techniques for central lines
Ultrasound techniques for vascular access at the bedside
Ultrasound techniques for templating the spine for spinal and epidural placement
Foundations for neuraxial anatomy, sensory and motor distributions relating to the parturient
Local anesthetics and intrathecal opiates (1 pharmacology credit)
Technology shortcuts for anticoagulation interpretation of lab values and parturient presentation
Network with fellow CRNAs from across the country and take advantage of the hands-on training in a way that only Twin Oaks Anesthesia can provide!
Seats are limited, we keep courses small to provide maximum exposure to topics covered.
A Must Read Testimonial
“Just wanted to drop this note to the Twin Oaks team. My wife and I attended your Tampa course. Got called earlier to OB after multiple attempts for epidural (probably 20 or so sticks from the looks of her back). Grabbed the US with the curved probe. Located the sacrum, moved up to L4/L5 in the space. Found my ligament at 7cm. Made my marks with my pen, prepped, draped, and probably did fastest epidural of my 10 year career thanks to your team. Placed epidural with ease and had patient completely comfortable within 10 minutes. My colleagues who had attempted before have many more years of experience but I now have US at my side. So from my patient, OB nurse, OB physician, and myself, thank you so very much for the knowledge that you gave to my wife and myself in Tampa.”
