Title: Getting to NO PAIN: Ultrasound Guided Cryoneurolysis Techniques for Perioperative Analgesia
Description:
The Iovera panel features two distinguished speakers who will delve into the application of cryoneurolysis, specifically focusing on its role as an additional tool for regional anesthesia. One speaker will present on the application of cryoneurolysis in mastectomy and amputations, drawing from their expertise and research in this area. The other speaker will provide a more general overview, offering a comprehensive review of the literature and discussing the broader applications of cryoneurolysis in regional anesthesia practice.
Objectives:
1. Review the principles and mechanisms of cryoneurolysis as it pertains to regional anesthesia practice.
2. Explore the clinical evidence supporting the use of cryoneurolysis as an adjunctive technique in regional anesthesia.
3. Review patient selection criteria and procedural considerations for incorporating cryoneurolysis into pain management strategies.
4. Develop proficiency in performing cryoneurolysis procedures through hands-on demonstrations and case-based discussions.
5. Discuss potential benefits, limitations, and complications associated with the use of cryoneurolysis in regional anesthesia.
6. Identify opportunities for integrating cryoneurolysis into clinical practice to optimize patient outcomes and minimize opioid usage.
Audience Interaction:
Following the presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to engage with the speakers through a moderated question-and-answer session. This interactive segment will foster dialogue, allowing participants to seek clarification, share insights, and explore practical considerations related to the implementation of cryoneurolysis in their clinical practice.
Conclusion:
The Iovera panel offers a unique opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge and insights into the application of cryoneurolysis as an additional tool for regional anesthesia. Through presentations by esteemed experts in the field, attendees will gain valuable perspectives on the role of cryoneurolysis in mastectomy and amputation procedures, as well as its broader applications in pain management. Join us for an engaging discussion on the latest advancements in cryoneurolysis and its implications for optimizing patient care in regional anesthesia.
