  difficult and can cause serious complications. Central venous cannula
 tion (CVC) is an important procedure in the practice of emergency and 
 critical care medicine. With the increasing ability of bedside ultraso
 und the technology has proven to reduce error and improve patient care
 . The Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality, the Institute of Medic
 ine and the National Institute for Health & Clinical Excellence have a
 ll endorsed ultrasound-guided central venous cannulation (UGCVC) as a 
 recommended practice. Given the importance of CVC it is paramount that
  physicians become proficient with UGCVC.\n\nAssessing and managing su
 perficial fluid collections using ultrasound-guided access is rapidly 
 becoming the standard of care in many medical institutions. Basic ultr
 asound expertise is invaluable, but there is a whole array of ultrasou
 nd procedures that can be performed that will increase your effectiven
 ess and diagnostic accuracy. Go beyond the basics and get the skills y
 ou need to expand your effective use of ultrasound in your clinical en
 vironment!\n\nParticipants in this course will benefit from hands-on s
 can labs where the ultrasound faculty will teach you the essential ski
 lls and techniques to perform exams that make a difference in patient 
 outcomes by demonstrating cardiac problems, deep vein thrombosis, or n
 eed for an intervention that can de done under ultrasound guidance.\n\
 nCourse Topics\n• 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.\n• Ultrasound guided procedure to included t
 horacentesis, and paracentesis, and central and peripheral line placem
 ent will be introduced as important and time saving ways of managing c
 ritically ill patients. Hands-on practice will be offered for all topi
 cs on live model’s or phantoms.\n• A hands-on practice session wil
 l be conducted with phantoms to assist the student in learning the han
 d-to-eye coordination needed to successfully manage these lesions.\n\n
