Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials (BAEPs) in Surgical Neurophysiology
Details
Calling all aspiring neurophysiologists - HiveBio is offering a unique, brand new workshop with opportunities to earn 6.25 ACE (ASET Continuing Education) credits. Through lectures, brain dissections, and hands-on techniques in brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs), attendees will learn the essence of advanced surgical procedures and neurophysiology. Full participants working towards accreditation will receive a tuning fork for clinical examination, sheep brain for dissection, and tubing for BAEP testing. Additional attendees may observe the workshop. All participants will be provided with a small breakfast and lunch, included in the workshop fee.
Come join HiveBio and otolaryngologist, Daniel M Zeitler, MD, (Virginia Mason Hospital) and Kenneth A Klettke, CNIM, Specialty Care as they develop your understanding of auditory systems, neurophysiology, and surgical techniques.
This workshop is targeted to intraoperative monitoring professionals as full participants for 6.25 hours of approved ACE credits (max. 8 participants) with public welcome as observers (max. 4 participants). The workshop consists of lectures in auditory physics, anatomy & physiology of hearing, related pathophysiology, sheep brainstem dissection, clinical examination, surgical indications, description of the technique of brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP), and hands-on sessions of BAEP practice and experimentation.
Full participants will receive a tuning fork for clinical exam, sheep brain for dissection, and alternative tubing for BAEP testing. All participants will be provided with a small breakfast and lunch with beverages throughout the day, included in the workshop fee.
Lecturers are:
Dr. Daniel M Zeitler, MD, Otolaryngology, Virginia Mason Hospital
Kenneth A Klettke, CNIM, Specialty Care
