 fficult and can cause serious complications. Central venous cannulatio
 n (CVC) is an important procedure in the practice of emergency and cri
 tical care medicine. With the increasing ability of bedside ultrasound
  the technology has proven to reduce error and improve patient care. T
 he Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality, the Institute of Medicine
  and the National Institute for Health & Clinical Excellence have all 
 endorsed ultrasound-guided central venous cannulation (UGCVC) as a rec
 ommended practice. Given the importance of CVC it is paramount that ph
 ysicians become proficient with UGCVC.\n\nAssessing and managing super
 ficial fluid collections using ultrasound-guided access is rapidly bec
 oming the standard of care in many medical institutions. Basic ultraso
 und expertise is invaluable, but there is a whole array of ultrasound 
 procedures that can be performed that will increase your effectiveness
  and diagnostic accuracy. Go beyond the basics and get the skills you 
 need to expand your effective use of ultrasound in your clinical envir
 onment!\n\nParticipants in this course will benefit from hands-on scan
  labs where the ultrasound faculty will teach you the essential skills
  and techniques to perform exams that make a difference in patient out
 comes by demonstrating cardiac problems, deep vein thrombosis, or need
  for an intervention that can de done under ultrasound guidance.\n\nCo
 urse Topics\n• Venous orientation and pathology to demonstrate DVT. 
 This topic will include the upper and lower extremities, to include th
 e jugular, subclavian, femoral, saphenous, and superficial veins of th
 e upper extremity. Students will be taught the proper way to compress 
 veins, and use color Doppler to evaluate areas of suspected DVT prior 
 to inserting a line.\n• Ultrasound guided procedure to included thor
 acentesis, and paracentesis, and central and peripheral line placement
  will be introduced as important and time saving ways of managing crit
 ically ill patients. Hands-on practice will be offered for all topics 
 on live model’s or phantoms.\n• A hands-on practice session will b
 e conducted with phantoms to assist the student in learning the hand-t
 o-eye coordination needed to successfully manage these lesions.\n\nINS
