The placement and management of labor epidurals and spinal techniques for Cesarean sections will be discussed and demonstrated. Ultrasound guided techniques will be presented for the difficulty placement scenario. State-of-the-art computer simulation to assist in the integration of didactic content occurs through the attendance of local, state and national anesthesia meetings. Prerequisite : DNAP 7400.
