Details
This course teaches participants the crucial skill of point-of-care ultrasound as an assessment tool, and how to utilize ultrasound for vascular access.
Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) assessment is quickly becoming an integral way to make a fast and accurate assessment of patients for clinical decision-making. It is performed at the bedside and has been proven to be accurate and repeatable for serial assessments of unstable patients to help guide in their care. Some have stated that “ultrasound will soon replace the stethoscope.”
US Guided Vascular Access skills can be used to initiate IV access for any and all surgical procedures, increases success rate with less needle sticks, decreases the need for central line placement, saves time and money. But most importantly, US Guided Vascular Access increases patient satisfaction by not getting stuck multiple times.
