Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU Health) Program
About This Program
Fellows are active participants on the RA team. Currently all RA techniques of the upper and lower extremities, as well as truncal blocks, are routinely performed at OHSU. The department places over 4,000 peripheral nerve blocks per year, with over one third of patients receiving a continuous perineural infusion. While the majority of our blocks are placed using ultrasound guidance, fellows will also become proficient using traditional techniques.
