Twentieth anniversary of teaching regional anesthesia at the Institute of Anatomy in Košice

This article informs about the background of teaching regional anaesthesia by the 1st Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Medicine Faculty of Medicine Pavol Jozef Šafárik University and Louis Pasteur University Hospital in Košice in cooperation with the Institute of Anatomy Faculty of Medicine Pavol Jozef Šafárik University. This teaching method originated in 1999 from the need to teach regional anaesthesia techniques in the period immediately after the constitution of the Slovak Academy of Regional Anaesthesia (1998). The availability of the Institute of Anatomy and the willingness of its leadership allowed such special teaching using the cadavers. The new era of the teaching of regional anaesthesia arose by using the ultrasound imaging methods and by close cooperation with knowledgeable and skilled physicians from foreign workplaces in 2009.
