On May 12, Professor Mak Moayedi, MD; Assistant Professor Bobbi-Jo Lowie, MD; Associate Professor Alexis Salerno, MD; Assistant Professor Ryan Spangler, MD; and Clinical Assistant Professor Doug Sward, MD, led a cadaver-based procedures lab exclusively for Departmental faculty.
The lab reviewed procedures including an ultrasound-guided nerve block, lateral canthotomy, facial nerve block, cricothyrotomy, endotracheal intubation, central venous access, tube thoracostomy, knee and wrist arthocentesis, thoracotomy, pericardiocentesis, transvenous pacing, Blakemore tube placement, and nasopharengeal laryngoscopy.
The lab allowed Departmental faculty to review and practice high-stakes procedures not always taught in standard labs, but very helpful in the day-to-day practice of Emergency Medicine.
