Brandon Winchester, MD, Regional Anesthesia Fellowship Director, Andrews Institute for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, Co-Founder, BLOCKJOCKS.COM - The adductor canal block is a novel regional anesthesia technique for major knee surgery that has emerged over the last several years. While adductor canal blocks provide similar rapid onset analgesia compared to traditional femoral nerve blocks, their advantage vs. femoral blocks is that they spare the quadriceps muscles and therefore do not result in motor weakness in the leg.

Dr. Nishant Shah, Department of Anesthesiology Affiliation Park Ridge Anesthesiology Associates – Division of Midwest Anesthesia Partners will provide an overview of the Transversus Abdominal Plane (TAP) blockade that will describe the relevant and necessary anatomy while teaching one how to perform the procedure under ultrasound guidance. More specific details will be presented in regards to surgical indications, risks/benefits, and how to incorporate this into everyday practice. Webinar Goals and Objectives: 1.
