Master in Locoregional Anaesthesia and Analgesia, Perineural and Fascial Techniques and Procedures

The second-level Master in Locoregional Anaesthesia and Analgesia, Perineural and Fascial Techniques and Procedures is offered by the Department of Neurosciences and Reproductive and Odontostomatological Sciences of the University of Naples Federico II. The programme covers sonoanatomy, pain pathways, the pharmacology of anaesthetics and adjuvants and the different types of nerve block, with emphasis on the management of complications and patient safety. Locoregional anaesthesia makes it possible to block pain in one area of the body without general anaesthesia, and is increasingly used, also thanks to ultrasound guidance. The master addresses the basics, such as sonoanatomy and pain pathways, and moves on to the techniques for the different types of block, with particular attention to safety.

The course takes place in person in Naples. Teaching includes clinical cases, simulations and exercises in the operating theatre. The language is not declared and Italian is presumed. Price, duration, credits and calendar are not stated. The presence of clinical cases, simulations and exercises in the operating theatre indicates a practical approach. The page does not specify how many hours are devoted to practice or with which facilities, and does not state the overall duration. The number of participants for the exercises must also be checked with the department.

The aim is to train professionals able to work autonomously, with advanced skills in ultrasound guidance, in the management of frail patients and in the personalisation of analgesic strategies. The career opportunities concern hospital and surgical settings and roles of responsibility in anaesthesia.

Before applying it is advisable to compare this information with that published on the university's official website, which may be more up to date than the page. It is also advisable to contact the department's teaching office to clarify any doubts about attendance, lesson calendar, assessment methods and organisation of the final exam. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments. It may also be useful to ask whether information sessions or orientation days are held, in which lecturers present the course and answer candidates' questions. Finally, it is advisable to check the application deadlines and the documents to attach, because enrolment deadlines may be short and vary from one academic year to the next.
