Part of the Online Lecture Series on Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthetic Techniques for Small Animals

CONTENT DESCRIPTION

This session will introduce you to one of the newest and most exciting areas of ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia – interfascial plane blocks. Over the last ten years, ultrasonography has allowed us to identify and access interfascial planes, the potential spaces where many of nerves that serve the trunk and abdomen are too small to otherwise see and identify. This session will discuss the evolution of these techniques and their suspected mechanism of action, and will introduce you to two important interfascial plane blocks that can be used to facilitate surgical procedures of the abdomen – Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) blocks and Quadratus Lumborum (QL) blocks. We will review the current literature and use our clinical and research experience to focus the discussion of relevant anatomy, drug selection, required equipment, what are the desired ultrasound images to obtain, and expected effects and contraindications.

Following graduation, he completed a residency in veterinary anesthesiology and a Master of Veterinary Science. He became board-certified with the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia (ACVAA) in 2002. Following his residency, Matt taught at the University of Georgia for two years before returning to Canada and developing and supervising the anesthesia services in two large specialty hospitals in Toronto and Calgary between 2003 and 2010. Matt served on faculty at the University of Calgary as an tenured Associate Professor from 2010 to 2018 before moving to Ohio where he currently works for MedVet Columbus as an anesthesiologist and serves as Specialty Team Leader for MedVet, a family of emergency and specialty hospitals with more than 40 locations across the USA. Matt has delivered over 100 lectures and workshops around the world and is co-editor of the recently published second edition of the textbook, Small Animal Regional Anesthesia and Analgesia. He dreams of someday going into space and opening an ice cream shop in the Caribbean, not necessarily in that order.
