Gain an understanding of the procedures and techniques used to place a peripheral line using ultrasound guidance. Learn to identify adjacent anatomical structures and how to master the correct equipment settings for the procedure.
Central Line placement is one of the most common hospital procedures, and yet it is not without risk. Ultrasound-guided Central Venous Catheter (CVC) placement reduces some of the more severe risks, such as pneumothoraces and CLABSI. Learn the procedures, techniques, and best practices associated with placing a central line under ultrasound guidance while minimizing risks of iatrogenic complications.
Gain an understanding of the procedures and techniques used to place a peripheral line using ultrasound guidance. Learn to identify adjacent anatomical structures and how to master the correct equipment settings for the procedure.
In this first part of the Ultrasound Instrumentation course, you will develop the confidence to understand the system components, equipment controls and settings, and techniques for necessary for creating an ultrasound image.
Point-of-care ultrasound is a powerful tool for cannulation. As the demographic of the average hemodialysis patient changes, the prevalence of difficult to cannulate vascular accesses increases. This course describes the technique of dialysis cannulation from equipment set-up, patient positioning, and securing the cannula to anatomical variables and pathology.
