Sunday Objectives (Orbital Block Workshop)

Examine orbital anatomy, including the identification and function of the extraocular muscles, muscles of the eyelids, cranial nerves innervating ocular structures, vascular supply, fascial sheaths, and the anatomical features of the orbital fossa.
Illustrate knowledge of orbital anatomy, distinguishing between the vital orbital structures and the needle placement for effective anesthesia delivery for ophthalmic surgery.
Differentiate between Orbital block techniques including intraconal and extraconal approaches, from the infratemporal, supratemporal and medial caruncle insertion sites for safe and effective orbital anesthesia.
Explain administering orbital blocks, particularly focusing on the Intraconal and Extraconal anesthetic techniques, applying a comprehensive understanding of orbital anatomy and injection methods to optimize patient comfort and procedural outcomes in ophthalmic surgeries.
Participants will engage in hands-on simulation training to proficiently perform the Infratemporal Intraconal, Extraconal approach, and the Supratemporal, Medial Caruncle Extraconal approach for orbital blocks, integrating anatomical knowledge and procedural skills to ensure appropriate needle placement and effective anesthesia delivery.
Through interactive workshop sessions, participants will refine their technique and enhance procedural competence in administering orbital blocks, specifically focusing on the Infratemporal Intraconal, Extraconal techniques, and the Supratemporal, Medial Caruncle Extraconal approaches, fostering confidence in providing safe and precise anesthesia for ophthalmic surgeries.
