Clinical Simulation
Supraorbital Nerve Block
About This Course
What you'll experience
A supraorbital nerve block is done to provide immediate localized anesthesia. This could be done for a number of reasons. Could be anything from laceration to removal of foreign object. In this case, it is a laceration on the forehead. This VR simulation for Supraorbital Nerve Block is designed to help practitioners practice performing the procedure in a virtual environment with a virtual patient. With both training and assessment modes, learners can perform the procedure and assess themselves on their performance.
Learning Objectives
- Identifying appropriate injection landmark
- Cleaning injection site using aseptic technique
- Inserting needle using clinically approved technique
- Performing test aspirate to ensure no return of blood

Core Skill
Performing Supraorbital Nerve Block
As a part of this Supraorbital Nerve Block procedure, the learner will begin by performing hand sanitization and preparing the injections for the procedure. After drawing up anesthetic into the syringe, an alcohol swab will be used to clean the injection side. Aiming towards the supraorbital notch, the needle will be inserted from lateral to medial. The learner will perform a test aspirate to ensure that there is no return of blood. To complete the procedure, the needle will be removed, the area massaged, and sharp items disposed in the sharps container.
All necessary affordances are provided to complete the procedure with efficiency.
