Do you want to increase your confidence in performing and interpreting nerve blocks for the benefit of your patients?
This course is aimed at new and recent graduates and veterinarians wanting to improve their confidence in regard to nerve blocks. After a refresher in anatomical knowledge in regard to loco-regional anaesthesia, principles of nerve blocking will be explored with specific emphasis on nerve block interpretation.
It is designed to give the equine practitioners who deal with lameness a better understanding of the use of loco-regional anaesthesia and its interpretation.
This webinar was part of the Nerve blocks and joint medications series that ran in June and July 2020. The other webinars in this series are:
Diagnostic analgesia of the foot and its interpretation
Diagnostic analgesia of the hindlimb (excluding the foot) and its interpretation
Diagnostic analgesia of the forelimb (excluding the foot) and its interpretation
Joint medications – a practical approach
Regenerative therapies – when, where and how
