Webinars

We will explore improved care efficiency and patient satisfaction with ultrasound guidance for difficult PIV insertions, identify challenges, and review a collaborative approach for initiating implementation.

Join Adrienne Barrett, RN, as she provides an overview of how to perform an ultrasound-guided cannulation in the hemodialysis unit including identifying anatomy on the ultrasound screen, overcoming potential barriers to adopting this skill set, and how to add ultrasound to the “tool box” used by hemodialysis nurses.

Dianne DuToit, Clinical Nurse Consultant presents Dialysis Vascular Access Flow Volume: Ultrasound Measurement of Blood Flow Volume in Dialysis Arteriovenous Fistulas and Grafts. She describes blood flow volume monitoring benefits, reviews ultrasound anatomy of Arteriovenous Fistulas (AVF) and Arteriovenous Grafts (AVG), discusses ultrasound volumen flow monitoring, reviews the equipment and software used, describes color and PW Doppler, reviews how to perform the volume flow calculation, and discusses results and clinical pearls.

Discover every small detail. Aided by a new family of transducers, Sonosite PX can help clinicians more accurately visualize sonographic landmarks. Learn how our most advanced image clarity ever empowers physicians to provide more accurate, real-time diagnoses for faster treatment and increase in-house treatment options. See for yourself in this live demo.

Audra Upton, MS, RDCS, RVT is the Director of Clinical Applications at Fujifilm Sonosite. Craig Chamberlain is the Directory of Experience Design at Fujifilm Sonosite. Together, they present this live demo of the new Sonosite PX ultrasound system.

Dr. Wolf Armbruster, Dr. Rudiger Eichholz, and Dr. Thomas Notheisen present this webinar to discuss current techniques for puncturing vessels and ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia. They review ultrasound-guided nerve blocks and vascular access. This includes discussing benefits of using ultrasound-guidance during interventions and procedures, specific probe maneuvers, sonoanatomy, and needle tip control.

Learn how the whole-body approach to point-of-care ultrasound is essential to managing patient care safely in the emergency medicine environment.

Dr. Pierre Kory is Chief, Critical Care Service at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, and Faculty at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison WI. This webinar will review of the need for prompt diagnosis of lower extremity thromboembolic disease in the Acute Care environment (incidence/prevalence). Detailed explanation of the proximal femoral, venous anatomy; popliteal vein and the technique for performing the ultrasound examination will be explored. Additionally, Dr.

Dr. Arun Nagdev will provide a comprehensive overview of how ultrasound guidance may be implemented into emergency medicine to increase procedural success and reduce error. From common procedures such as vascular access to those performed less frequently, ultrasound-guidance allows the clinician the ability to navigate anatomical variance to ensure efficient and optimal patient care.
