Learner Outcomes
By the end of the workshop, learners:
- Will understand the basics of ultrasound application for procedural purposes
- Have a good anatomy review and understanding of radial, brachial artery and surrounding structures
- Be comfortable with out-of-plane and in-plane views of target
- Have perfected their needling technique
- Know how to successfully troubleshoot common complications with ultrasound arterial line insertion
Course Objectives
The purpose of this workshop is to update students’ practice using ultrasound energy to guide precise puncture, and cannulation placement with or without a wire. There will be a review of the basics of ultrasound energy as it applies to procedural skills, the types of probes available, depth, gain optimization and angulation to get the best picture. Students will review anatomy, the radial and brachial artery and surrounding structures and be able to engage in hands-on practice with phantoms, learning about probe orientation and best practice cannulation technique. Common scenarios student may encounter in the clinical environment will also be explored.
