“Regional anesthesia is a vital skill for any
anesthesiologist and ultrasound-guided
techniques have enhanced our ability to achieve
effective and consistent blocks. It is important
that we ensure our graduating residents have
the requisite skills to perform basic regional
techniques in a safe and effective manner in
order to disseminate the benefits of regional
anesthesia to the broader surgical population.”
