    Andrea Trescot, MD, demonstrates cryoanalgesia (cryo) for several pain conditions on a cadaver at a World Institute of Pain (WIP) workshop in Miami, FL. Dr. Trescot mainly discusses performing cryo on the infrapatellar saphenous nerve for knee pain. She also discusses other applications including relieving pain from knee replacements, deep vein thromboses (DVTs), diabetic neuropathy, and phantom limb pain. She discusses the different nerves that are targeted for the different applications.

    Dr. Kenneth Candido discusses anesthetic techniques on the battlefield. He starts by outlining anesthetic options, emphasizing the value of continuous regional anesthesia, before turning to treatment methods. Using the example of ultrasound-guided intercostal nerve block administration, Dr. Candido discusses strategies for delivering medical care on the battlefield. He also discusses epidural opioid analgesia, catheter placement, and adjunct medications. Dr. Candido concludes by presenting common types of battlefield injuries and how to improve long-term quality of life.

    Dr. Andrea Trescot discusses the benefits and challenges of cryoanalgesia with Dr. Standiford Helm. Among the topics they cover are the benefits of cryoablation for intractable pain, the use of cryoanalgesia before surgery to reduce post-operative pain, and a large study on the use of cryoablation to help resolve phantom limb pain. The doctors conclude their conversation with a discussion of the challenges associated with getting insurance companies to reimburse providers.
