Thoracic outlet syndrome is a complex vascular and neurological disorder due to a dynamic compression of blood vessels or nerves. There is an emerging need for physiatry to be the go-to specialty in the accurate diagnosis and treatment of patients with this complex clinical presentation. This skills lab will teach diagnostic and interventional ultrasound techniques to help efficiently diagnose and effectively treat patients with suspected thoracic outlet syndrome.

Learning Objectives:

Complete a diagnostic ultrasound scan of the arterial and venous blood flow at the level of the subclavian and axillary artery and vein in neck, shoulder abduction, and military position.
Perform an anterior scalene muscle plane injection under ultrasound guidance.
Perform a medial and lateral cord brachial plexus injection technique at the level of the pectoralis minor and coracoid process under ultrasound guidance.
Improved anatomy of the anterior neck and infra-clavicular brachial plexus.
