About this course
Why should you follow this online course
Ultrasound is a powerful tool for diagnosing traumatic and iatrogenic nerve injuries. It provides real-time, high-resolution images of the affected area, allowing for accurate localization and characterization of nerve damage. Additionally, ultrasound can monitor nerve injuries over time, providing valuable information for treatment planning and assessing the effectiveness of interventions. Staying on a foundational level limits patient care, as advanced knowledge and skills are necessary for accurate diagnosis and treatment. So, taking advanced courses is essential to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction.
The objective of this 2-part webinar is to get familiar with the occurrence and assessment of the different types of peripheral nerve injury, highlighting the unique role that ultrasound can play in the workup and management of patients suffering from these injuries.
Topics:
- Part 1: Epidemiology, classification and basic ultrasound pathology of nerve injury
- Part 2: Specific nerve injury types, prognosis and prevention
Certificate
After completion you'll receive a digital SonoSkills Certificate of Attendance and proof of your CME points.
