Blame It on Anesthesia? Not Anymore! The Power of Neuromuscular Testing in Regional Anesthesia (1 Class A CE)

Enhance your practice in regional anesthesia by incorporating neuromuscular functional testing to improve preoperative assessments and optimize patient care. This engaging presentation will show nurse anesthesiologists how integrating neuromuscular testing can improve preoperative assessments, help choose the appropriate block for surgery, and optimize patient outcomes.

The session begins with a comprehensive review of dermatomes, myotomes, and osteotomes, demonstrating how these anatomical structures guide the selection of the correct regional block for each procedure. You’ll also gain insights into muscle innervation and its impact on nerve pathways and muscle function. Master the ability to differentiate between nerve root and peripheral nerve injuries, increasing your diagnostic accuracy and refining your clinical practice.

Through interactive, hands-on demonstrations, you'll develop the practical skills needed to perform manual muscle and dermatome assessments for both upper and lower extremities. Finally, explore practical strategies for seamlessly incorporating neuromuscular testing into your daily routine to enhance patient safety and optimize care.

Whether you're looking to refine your current approach or adopt new techniques, this session will provide the tools and knowledge to take your practice to the next level.
