Ultrasound Guided
Regional Anaesthesia
This course teaches ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia (UGRA) for healthcare professionals at all levels of expertise in
regional anaesthesia techniques. Its goal is to equip them with the necessary knowledge and abilities to effectively perform
the most commonly used forms of ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia through lectures and live demonstrations of the
sonoanatomy needed for nerve blocks of both upper and lower extremities, and the TAP block. Different types of local
anaesthetics and their respective applications are discussed.
