Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anaesthesia (UGRA)
The Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anaesthesia (UGRA) course is a comprehensive, CME-accredited educational program designed for healthcare professionals at all levels of experience who wish to develop or refine their skills in regional anaesthesia.
This course provides a structured, step-by-step approach to the principles and practice of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks. Through expert-led lectures and live sono-anatomy demonstrations, participants gain the practical knowledge required to safely and effectively perform the most commonly used UGRA techniques in daily clinical practice.
The curriculum covers:
-
Fundamentals and history of regional anaesthesia
-
Ultrasound physics, machine settings, and nerve imaging
-
Safe needle and cannula approaches
-
Upper extremity nerve and plexus blocks
-
Lower extremity nerve blocks
-
Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block
-
Local anaesthetics, adjuvants, dosing, and side effects
The course is organized into 8 comprehensive chapters, including 16 video lectures and 7 quizzes to reinforce learning and assess knowledge acquisition. A set of free introductory lectures is included to provide an overview of key concepts and common pitfalls in ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia.
