Advanced Ultrasound Assessment

Look Beyond the First Vein You See

Strengthen the clinical reasoning behind your ultrasound assessment. Designed for clinicians already proficient in ultrasound-guided PICC insertion, this course explores how a more deliberate evaluation can inform vessel selection and procedural planning.

Review the relationship between equipment settings, scanning technique, and the information available from the examination. Connect those findings with risk assessment and vessel preservation as you consider the most appropriate access approach.

What You Will Learn

• Probe, gel, and equipment controls
• Scan preparation and image assessment
• Vessel evaluation and thrombosis assessment criteria
• Vein selection, risk-benefit considerations, and vessel preservation
