Highlights
Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA) is a useful tool in the emergency department (ED) for managing painful conditions, and many programs have identified that these are useful skills for emergency providers; only about 53% of programs report teaching UGRA as part of their core curriculum, and there currently are no widely available or peer reviewed nerve block curricula designed for emergency medicine residents
An elective in ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia can be successfully incorporated into an emergency medicine training program
The curriculum was successful in providing focused training in UGRA and resulted in increased resident confidence in performing nerve block procedures
Summary
Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia (UGRA) is a useful tool in the emergency department (ED) for managing painful conditions, and many programs have identified that these are useful skills for emergency providers; only about 53% of programs report teaching UGRA as part of their core curriculum, and there currently are no widely available or peer reviewed nerve block curricula designed for emergency medicine residents. Educational Goals: To deliver an immersive 1-week elective to provide residents a strong foundation in principles of UGRA and an introduction to 14 nerve block procedures applicable to care provided in the ED. Research Methods: All residents provided feedback through an online survey after completing the elective
