At Herman & Wallace, we’re committed to providing practitioners with the knowledge and skills they need to offer the best care possible. We’ve heard your feedback regarding the lack of familiarity with rectal balloon catheters, and we’re excited to announce a new remote course: Anorectal Balloon Catheters: Introduction and Practical Application.
Course Overview
This short but comprehensive course offers 5.5 contact hours dedicated to the essential aspects of using rectal balloon catheters in treating patients experiencing defecatory dysfunction. It is designed for those who have completed Pelvic Function Level 1.
While this course will be conducted remotely, participants are required to register with another clinician to facilitate hands-on lab practice.
Learning Objectives
Participants will explore a range of topics, including:
- Understanding Anatomy and Physiology: Gain insights into the relevant anatomy and pathophysiology associated with defecatory conditions.
- Assessment Techniques: Learn how to assess sensation in the anal canal related to defecation using balloon catheters.
- Treatment Planning: Develop appropriate treatment plans for patients with hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity affecting defecation.
- Indications and Contraindications: Understand when balloon training is appropriate and explore in-depth treatment guidelines.
- Data Interpretation: Learn how to interpret assessment data gathered during balloon catheter evaluations and formulate effective treatment strategies.
