Regional Anesthesia Cadaver Lab

Posted by Amy in on April 11, 2010

Below are some photos I snapped in-between my attempts at placing double-lumen endotracheal tubes, spinals, epidurals, central lines, brachial plexus nerve blocks, and lumbar plexus nerve blocks on cadavers a few weeks ago.  Enjoy!

Our CRNA instructor points out the muscles, nerves,
and landmarks associated with the brachial plexus

Look at how attentive we are!  I think this calls
for some extra credit added to our final grade...

Someone still doesn't know the proper order one must
follow when applying a gown and gloves, KATHRYN.

The watering hole!

    Thanks Adam! I'm not too thrilled about the depth of field (poor Laura is all blurry back there!) but it's the best I could do given the poor lighting in the room. Image specifics aside, I thought it was cute of the girls and couldn't NOT include it in the photo lineup!
