ForwardMedicine, and the specific field of anesthesiology, are changing rapidly. The number of journals describing these changes and the articles describing the investigative work being done has just exploded and, unless following the information in one of our many subspecialties, it would be impossible to remain current with evolving information. This series was designed to provide current information to our faculty, students and staff to allow their care of patients to reflect best practices and to encourage each of them to make a regular practice of seeking new and accurate information so that they can remain current in their practices. The visiting professor series is designed to offer timely, current and critical education to all types of Anesthesia practitioners (faculty, ancillary staff, and residents). The visiting professor series will focus on the integration of new research/literature/techniques into the current knowledge base of the faculty and residents. Much emphasis will be given on how to integrate the information into clinical practices. Speakers are carefully selected based on the quality of the education they will provide the audience (new information/skills/techniques) and the relevance and timeliness to the field of Anesthesiology.

Participants who engage in this educational intervention will be able to:
- Locate the fascial plane separating the external oblique muscle from the underlying ribs and intercostal muscles on the anterolateral chest wall.
- Explain how local anesthetic spread targets the lateral and anterior cutaneous branches of the intercostal nerves (T6–T11) to produce a multi-dermatomal sensory block.
- Evaluate clinical indications for the external oblique intercostal (EOI) block in upper abdominal surgical procedures and ERAS pathways.
- Recognize sonographic landmarks, including hyperechoic ribs, acoustic shadowing, and overlying muscle layers during an oblique sagittal ultrasound scan.
- Differentiate the safety profile, dermatomal coverage, and technical characteristics of the EOI block from transversus abdominis plane (TAP) and erector spinae plane (ESP) blocks.
- Characterize relevant epidural anatomy.
- Differentiate the types of epidural failure.
- Examine rare and common locations of migrated or mispositioned epidural catheters.
- Elucidate the anatomical relationship between the epidural space and the mediastinal/intrapleural spaces.
- Appraise techniques used to confirm correct epidural catheter placement.
