Nerve Blocks and Epidural Blocks in Veterinary Practice

Sista anmälningsdag: 1. januari 2026

Effective pain management is crucial for optimal patient outcomes, high client satisfaction, and ultimately has a positive impact on clinic resource utilization.
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the use of local anesthesia and analgesia through plexus and peripheral nerve blocks, as well as epidural blocks.
By managing pain locally, the need for systemic anesthesia and analgesia is reduced, optimizing patient recovery and quality of life.

The course includes theoretical presentations, practical demonstrations, and hands-on exercises, equipping participants with the skills to implement these techniques in their own practice.

Clinical Applications:
Nerve and epidural blocks are effective tools in a wide range of clinical situations in dogs and cats:

Diagnostics: A valuable tool for confirming diagnoses (e.g., lumbar block prior to surgery for lumbosacral pathology or shoulder block for forelimb lameness).
Orthopedic Surgery: Used in cruciate ligament surgeries, patellar luxation, fracture management, etc.
Soft Tissue Surgery: For abdominal surgery, tumor resections, ear canal ablation, or perineal surgery.
Acute Pain Patients: For trauma cases where nerve blocks can stabilize the patient with reduced need for opioids and other systemic analgesics.
Palliative Care: Effective pain relief for chronic conditions, maintaining quality of life until possible euthanasia.

Benefits of Correct Application:

Optimized pain management
Reduced patient stress
Stabilized anesthesia protocol
Minimized need for systemic anesthesia and analgesia
Fewer side effects from systemic medications
Enhanced recovery
Improved quality of life for both patient and owner
Optimized resource utilization

Upon completion of the course, participants will have acquired:

A basic understanding of local anesthetics and their role in multimodal analgesia
Knowledge of the indications, benefits, and risks of nerve and epidural blocks
Familiarity with relevant anatomy and identification of nerves and plexuses
Skills in performing peripheral nerve blocks with a nerve stimulator
Competence in ultrasound-guided nerve blocks
The course does not cover dental blocks.
