TECH introduces a program specialized in Locoregional Anesthesia so that you can work on updating your clinical practice from wherever you want, thanks to its convenient 100% online format” 

The palliative treatment of herniated discs, lumbar, inguinal, femoral, etc.; the reduction of pain in people suffering from diseases associated with the muscle and bone region; or the inhibition of the nerve root of the different areas in which a surgical intervention is to be performed, are the main areas of action of Locoregional Anesthesia. This is a medical specialty whose progress has helped thousands of people to improve their quality of life, through a considerable reduction of the discomforts they suffered in previous centuries. A quite significant example of this technique is the cervical or neuroaxial blocks, in which the vertebral facets are targeted through minimally invasive anesthetic therapies that contribute to a significant reduction of pain.

However, as in General Anesthesia, this type of procedures must be subject to an exhaustive control of the techniques, as well as of the considerations to be taken into account to avoid side effects harmful to health depending on the type of patients (children, elderly, people with various pathologies, pregnant women, etc.). For this reason, TECH Technological University has developed a complete program with which, in just 12 months, you will be able to get up to date on all clinical and therapeutic developments in Locoregional Anesthesia.
