Description:

Course content focuses on proper Central Line placement, including the use of ultrasound guidance and manometry for locating and verifying venous access sites. The course includes a web based multimedia didactic emphasizing patterns of injury, site anatomy, CVC indications and alternatives, as well as complication recognition and corrective maneuvers. A hands-on practical component is then undertaken at WISER using partial task trainers to develop psychomotor skills for the placement of IJ, SC and Femoral lines. There is a strong focus on ultrasound use, proper application of the tissue dilator and 5 barrier sterile technique. Patient safety is emphasized at every opportunity.
