Webinars

Phil Booth, RN, MSN, MICN, CEN is an Emergency Room nurse with 40 years of experience. He will present this webinar on Ultrasound-guided Peripheral IV Insertion. He will describe the basic physics of ultrasonography; interpret a dynamic ultrasound image of a human arm and identify arteries, veins, nerves, subcutaneous tissue, fascia and bone; and insert an IV catheter into a “phantom” arm successfully using ultrasound.

Adrienne Barrett, vascular access nurse in the hemodialysis unit at Health Sciences North in Sudbury, Ontario presents a webinar to train novice users on how to use ultrasound guidance to perform cannulation in hemodialysis in vascular access. She describes how to use ultrasound as an additional tool that bedside hemodialysis nurses can use to assess and cannulate the vascular access of dialysis patients.

Dianne DuToit, Clinical Nurse Consultant in Dialysis and Vascular Access, presents Ultrasound in Hemodialysis: Assessment and Ultrasound-guided Cannulation for Dialysis Nurses. In this webinar, she discusses the basic ultrasound principles, describes the benefits of ultrasound use in the dialysis setting, identifies anatomic structures on an ultrasound image, creates a “map” of the AVF and AVG utilizing ultrasound, and shows how to successfully insert a dialysis needle into a “phantom” arm using ultrasound guidance.

Watch the on-demand webinar hosted by Matthew Ostroff who will discuss vascular access for the COVID-19 patient.

There is a need to help clinicians reduce device-related peripheral IV catheter insertion failures and improve success rates. This webinar will provide an overview regarding the use of ultrasound-guidance for patients with difficult venous access. Join Timothy Spencer, RN, for a detailed review of current clinical evidence, recommendations, and strategies regarding the use of ultrasound-guided peripheral IV catheter insertions.
