Interventional Pain Management

Cadaveric Interventional Pain Management

Course Overview: Join us for a cadaveric hands on session on fluoroscopy guided interventional pain management for chronic pain. Cadavers are best simulators known. The workshop will provide all participants an opportunity to practise these procedures on cadavers.

The course objectives are:
1. To understand fluroanatomy of head-neck and lumbar spine
2. Demonstration of needle placement for various blocks
3. Hands on session for all the participants
4. Trouble shooting and discussions with experts

Target Audience: Interventional pain specialists, Anaesthesiologists
