PERIPHERAL NERVE BLOCK: CARING FOR THE PATIENT WITH

Course overview

A peripheral nerve block (PNB) is a form of regional analgesia (i.e., loss of pain sensation), and in some cases regional anesthesia (i.e., loss of all sensation), that can be used to provide continuous pain relief throughout the perioperative period. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of caring for patients with a PNB. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
