Webinars

Learn how Sonosite PX improves workflow efficiency and adaptability, allowing clinicians to find controls more quickly with fewer touches.

The presentation will cover the value of ultrasound-guided cannulation; and evidence and recommendations for using ultrasound to increase clinician confidence, reduce patient anxiety, and decrease risks of adverse events during the cannulation process.

Listen to your colleagues discuss the trends in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) and learn how the expanded use of POCUS supports both procedural and diagnostic applications.

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.

Accurate assessment of volume status is a perpetual challenge in medicine. The detection of right-sided venous congestion can be particularly difficult with traditional clinical and POCUS techniques; but often has significant pathologic consequences. Join Dr. Katie Wiskar to learn how to perform a VExUS exam – Venous Excess UltraSound – and see examples of how to incorporate this technique into your clinical practice.
