IUSM Point of Care Ultrasound: US Guided Procedures and Vascular Access

Tuesday, October 31, 2023, 6:00 AM - Friday, October 30, 2026, 11:59 PM

Used as a focused diagnostic tool, Point of Care Ultrasound is increasingly used throughout clinical medicine. The purpose of this online enduring activity is to provide the participant with fundamental knowledge in machine operation, ultrasound physics, and how to perform a focused exam for fluid assessment and kidneys & bladder.

 

Launch Date: 10/31/2023

Expiration Date: 10/30/2026

1. Apply the fundamentals of ultrasound physics and machine controls when performing point of care ultrasound examinations.
2. Implement proper ultrasound scan techniques when using point of care ultrasound for procedural guidance and vascular access
3. Discuss maneuvers for better visualization of the needle during procedure guidance
4. Identify potential barriers to ultrasound procedure guidance
5. Identify characteristic appearances of a vein on the ultrasound image
6. Identify structures to avoid during venous access procedures

To access the modules, please register using the registration tab.

Registration fee: $100
