Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Medicine Resident Orientation
Welcome to Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Medicine!
Welcome to the Regional Anesthesia rotation.
In refining your experience on the regional rotation we have linked the
Regional Section within the iGuide as your guide to regional set-ups and important information.
Prior to the rotation, you MUST read it. Below are a few critical bullet points; however this does not serve as an adequate substitute for reading the handbook in its entirety.
Other access available:
Anesthesia Toolbox Curriculum: Peer reviewed, covers other anesthesia fields with a variety of learning modules, lectures, PBLDs, quiz... An email notification to access Toolbox will be sent directly from CollectedMed Admin. Your login is your SuNet ID or username within your email address.
Other non-peer reviewed online: "http://nysora.com/", “ ultrasoundblock.com”, "http://www.usra.ca"
Important Points:
- Please perform a timeout before every block, reviewing pain medications, anticoagulation status, preexisting neuropathies and correct side.
- OSC Resident carries the BLOCK pager starting at 7am Monday (Handbook pg 6)
- SMOC (Handbook pg 7) fill out the attached form and send it to Carolyn Longshore (clongshore@stanfordhealthcare.org) to expedite getting scrub access and door access.
- The night before (Handbook pg 3) the fellow will send you the schedule.
- You will present at Journal Club (Handbook pg 7)
- Check your block cart before first block (especially for resuscitation equipment)
- Calling the first block patients the night before is always a good idea to smooth the morning rush
- The rotation has 3 learnings objectives equally important:
- learning the technique safely and efficiently.
- learning to coordinate the flow of patient to avoid delays.
- learning acute pain management including block assessment and rescue.
