  can be difficult and can cause serious complications. Central venous 
 cannulation (CVC) is an important procedure in the practice of emergen
 cy and critical care medicine. With the increasing ability of bedside 
 ultrasound the technology has proven to reduce error and improve patie
 nt care. The Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality, the Institute o
 f Medicine and the National Institute for Health & Clinical Excellence
  have all endorsed ultrasound-guided central venous cannulation (UGCVC
 ) as a recommended practice. Given the importance of CVC it is paramou
 nt that physicians become proficient with UGCVC.\nAssessing and managi
 ng superficial fluid collections using ultrasound-guided access is rap
 idly becoming the standard of care in many medical institutions. Basic
  ultrasound expertise is invaluable, but there is a whole array of ult
 rasound procedures that can be performed that will increase your effec
 tiveness and diagnostic accuracy. Go beyond the basics and get the ski
 lls you need to expand your effective use of ultrasound in your clinic
 al environment!\nParticipants in this course will benefit from hands-o
 n scan labs where the ultrasound faculty will teach you the essential 
 skills and techniques to perform exams that make a difference in patie
 nt outcomes by demonstrating cardiac problems, deep vein thrombosis, o
 r need for an intervention that can de done under ultrasound guidance.
 \nCourse Topics • Venous orientation and pathology to demonstrate DV
 T. This topic will include the upper and lower extremities, to include
  the jugular, subclavian, femoral, saphenous, and superficial veins of
  the upper extremity. Students will be taught the proper way to compre
 ss veins, and use color Doppler to evaluate areas of suspected DVT pri
 or to inserting a line. • Ultrasound guided procedure to included th
 oracentesis, and paracentesis, and central and peripheral line placeme
 nt will be introduced as important and time saving ways of managing cr
 itically ill patients. Hands-on practice will be offered for all topic
 s on live model’s or phantoms. • A hands-on practice session will 
 be conducted with phantoms to assist the student in learning the hand-
 to-eye coordination needed to successfully manage these lesions.\nSelf
