From treating acute traumatic pain like a fractured hip to dealing with patients reporting chronic pain, emergency physicians are identifying new ways to alleviate patient suffering without prescribing potentially addictive narcotics. Innovative methods like ultrasound-guided regional nerve blocks can take patient pain from 10 to 0 in a matter of minutes.
Join Fujifilm SonoSite (booth #2307) in Washington D.C. at ACEP 2017, to hear Dr. Alexis LaPietra speak about the U.S. opioid epidemic and how EMED doctors are using point-of-care ultrasound for regional nerve blocks to help reduce opioid prescriptions.

Sunday, October 29th 10:45am - 11:30am
