PRE-CONFERENCE HANDS-ON WORKSHOP

C-Arm Guided Interventional Pain Procedures on Real Bone Manikins

📅 3rd September | 🕘 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Master Precision in Fluoroscopy-Guided Pain Interventions

The Pre-Conference Hands-On Workshop is an intensive, small-group training program dedicated to mastering C-arm guided interventional pain procedures using real bone manikins.

This workshop is designed for pain physicians, anesthesiologists, and interventional specialists who want to strengthen their procedural accuracy, improve needle trajectory planning, and gain confidence in fluoroscopy-guided techniques.

Participants will practice interventions under live C-arm imaging guidance, focusing on anatomical orientation, optimal C-arm positioning, needle entry points, contrast flow patterns, and procedural safety.

🔁 Structured Rotational Format

Participants will be divided into:

  • Group A
  • Group B
  • Group C

Each group will rotate among three procedure tables, spending 2 hours at each table.

Rotation Schedule:

  • 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM
  • 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
  • 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM — Lunch Break
  • 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM

This structured rotation ensures every participant receives focused, hands-on exposure to all major spinal and sympathetic interventional procedures.

🔷 Workshop Highlights

✔ Real bone manikin training
✔ Live C-arm fluoroscopy guidance
✔ Step-by-step needle placement techniques
✔ Contrast flow pattern interpretation
✔ Safe triangle and Kambin’s triangle approaches
✔ Expert faculty supervision
✔ High faculty-to-participant ratio
✔ Intensive procedural mentoring

🔹 TABLE 1 – Lumbar Interventions

Focused training on lumbar spine fluoroscopy-guided techniques.

Procedures Covered:

  • Lumbar facet joint injection
  • Lumbar medial branch block
  • Selective nerve root block (SNRB)
  • Kambin’s triangle transforaminal approach
  • Lumbar discography
  • Sacroiliac joint injection
  • S1 nerve root injection

Key Learning Components:

  • C-arm positioning (AP, oblique, lateral views)
  • Identification of pedicles and intervertebral foramen
  • Safe needle trajectory planning
  • Contrast spread interpretation
  • Avoiding vascular and dural complications

This station strengthens foundational and advanced lumbar spine interventional skills.

🔹 TABLE 2 – Sacral, Sympathetic & Plexus Interventions

Advanced training in sympathetic and deep plexus blocks under fluoroscopic guidance.

Procedures Covered:

  • Superior hypogastric plexus block
  • Splanchnic nerve block
  • Celiac plexus block
  • Lumbar sympathetic block
  • Rami communicantes block
  • Caudal epidural injection

Key Learning Components:

  • Retroperitoneal needle targeting
  • Vertebral body alignment techniques
  • Safe anterior vs posterior approaches
  • Contrast confirmation strategies
  • Anatomical danger zones and complication avoidance

This station is ideal for physicians looking to master visceral pain and cancer pain interventions.

🔹 TABLE 3 – Cervical & Cranial Interventions

Precision training in high-risk cervical and cranial fluoroscopy-guided procedures.

Procedures Covered:

  • Cervical facet joint injection
  • Cervical medial branch block
  • Stellate ganglion block
  • Sphenopalatine ganglion block
  • Gasserian ganglion block

Key Learning Components:

  • Cervical vertebral alignment under C-arm
  • Oblique view optimization
  • Safe trajectory planning in cervical region
  • Skull base fluoroscopic orientation
  • Avoidance of vertebral artery and neural complications

This table provides critical expertise in cervical pain and craniofacial pain interventions.

👨‍⚕️ Workshop Faculty

The workshop will be led by experienced interventional pain specialists:

  • Dr. Gautam Das
  • Dr. Pabitra Biswas
  • Dr. Hari Poudel
  • Dr. Shruti Rekha Hota
  • Dr. Dipasri Bhattacharya
  • Dr. Sushpa Das
  • Dr. Sirish Amatya
  • Dr Anamul H Milton

Participants will benefit from direct supervision, procedural corrections, and practical insights from faculty with extensive hands-on experience.

🎯 Who Should Attend?

  • Pain physicians
  • Anesthesiologists
  • Interventional pain fellows
  • Spine intervention practitioners
  • Physicians preparing for FIPP or advanced pain certifications
  • Doctors seeking structured C-arm guided training

🚀 Why This Workshop Is Unique

Unlike lecture-based learning, this workshop provides:

  • Real procedural simulation
  • True fluoroscopic orientation practice
  • Needle handling under supervision
  • Small group engagement
  • Focused 2-hour intensive learning per table

This pre-conference session ensures you enter the main conference with enhanced procedural clarity and technical confidence.

Limited Seats | High-Impact Training | Small-Group Format

This is an intensive, hands-on pre-conference workshop, and seats are strictly limited to maintain optimal learning quality.
