 e difficult and can cause serious complications. Central venous cannul
 ation (CVC) is an important procedure in the practice of emergency and
  critical care medicine. With the increasing ability of bedside ultras
 ound the technology has proven to reduce error and improve patient car
 e. The Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality, the Institute of Medi
 cine 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 paramount tha
 t physicians become proficient with UGCVC.\n\nAssessing and managing s
 uperficial fluid collections using ultrasound-guided access is rapidly
  becoming the standard of care in many medical institutions. Basic ult
 rasound expertise is invaluable, but there is a whole array of ultraso
 und procedures that can be performed that will increase your effective
 ness and diagnostic accuracy. Go beyond the basics and get the skills 
 you need to expand your effective use of ultrasound in your clinical e
 nvironment!\n\nParticipants in this course will benefit from hands-on 
 scan labs where the ultrasound faculty will teach you the essential sk
 ills and techniques to perform exams that make a difference in patient
  outcomes by demonstrating cardiac problems, deep vein thrombosis, or 
 need for an intervention that can de done under ultrasound guidance.\n
 \nCourse Topics\n• Venous orientation and pathology to demonstrate D
 VT. This topic will include the upper and lower extremities, to includ
 e the jugular, subclavian, femoral, saphenous, and superficial veins o
 f the upper extremity. Students will be taught the proper way to compr
 ess veins, and use color Doppler to evaluate areas of suspected DVT pr
 ior to inserting a line.\n• Ultrasound guided procedure to included 
 thoracentesis, and paracentesis, and central and peripheral line place
 ment will be introduced as important and time saving ways of managing 
 critically ill patients. Hands-on practice will be offered for all top
 ics on live model’s or phantoms.\n• A hands-on practice session wi
 ll be conducted with phantoms to assist the student in learning the ha
 nd-to-eye coordination needed to successfully manage these lesions.\n\
