Cadaveric Demonstration and Sono-anatomy of Lower Limb Blocks

Event Name: Interdepartmental Meeting & Guest Lecture Organized By: Department of Anaesthesiology Venue: Anatomy Dissection Hall & Specialty OT Classroom Date: 15.07.2025 Time: 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM Guest Speaker: Dr. Anis Fathima, Assistant Professor, Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences, Puducherry

The Department of Anaesthesia and Department of Anatomy have organized  a Guest lecture titled “Cadaveric Demonstration and Sono-anatomy of Lower Limb Blocks” on 15th July 2025, from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM at the Anatomy Dissection Hall. This academic event was organized to enhance the practical knowledge of postgraduate students, residents, and faculty in the field of regional anesthesia, Additionally special focus was given to ultrasound-guided lower limb blocks, in the department of Anaesthesiology & Critical Care, SMVMCH From 12pm to 01.00pm, specialty OT class room. The session was graced by Dr. Anis Fathima, Assistant Professor from Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences, Puducherry, who served as the guest speaker and lead demonstrator. Dr. Fathima brought her expertise in regional anesthesia and sonoanatomy, offering participants an in-depth understanding of the anatomical and sonographic landmarks critical for effective lower limb blocks. Nearly 30 postgraduates and 15 faculties have participated in the lecture.

The session included:
  • A detailed anatomical orientation using cadaveric specimens, aiding in the visual and tactile understanding of the relevant structures.
  • live demonstration of sonoanatomy, highlighting the use of ultrasound to locate nerves and guide block placement.
  • Interactive Q&A segments, where participants clarified clinical doubts and discussed challenges encountered in routine practice.
The workshop was well received, with enthusiastic participation from anesthesiology residents, faculty members, and students from allied disciplines. Feedback indicated a high level of satisfaction, particularly in terms of the practical relevance and clarity of the demonstrations.

The session concluded with a vote of thanks and a token of appreciation presented to Dr.Anis Fathima for her valuable contribution. Overall, the program was a resounding success and added substantial value to the participants’ clinical skills and anatomical understanding.
