This session will describe the surface anatomy of the vertebral column. This includes an investigation of the spinal regions and a section on how to identify the level of the various vertebrae.
The session outlines how the anatomical landmarks necessary to perform either cricothyrotomy or tracheostomy can be correctly identified. The differences between the two techniques are highlighted.
This session is designed to help you gain a better understanding of surface anatomy relevant to everyday anaesthetic procedures such as central venous access and brachial plexus blockade.
This session describes the surface anatomy, boundaries and superficial/deep structures in the antecubital fossa. It describes the variations in venous and arterial vasculature in the region and clinical importance to the anaesthetist of this fossa.
The patient positioned for surgery is vulnerable to extraneous harm. Knowledge of the common injuries and understanding of the causes of harm enables the anaesthetist to minimize the risks.
This session describes the anatomy of the upper and lower limbs, concentrating on the bones and joints. Particular attention is paid to those bones and joints that are of importance to the anaesthetist.
This session describes the bones of the facial skeleton and skull vault. The important muscles that move the mandible are described. The classification and positions of fracture lines commonly seen following trauma to the face and surgical osteotomy are a
This session covers the anatomy of the sacrum, coccyx and sacral hiatus. It describes the intervertebral discs and spinal ligaments, and the vertebral levels of some of the surface markings of the body. The different types of spina bifida are reviewed.
