Peripheral, central, as well as arterial lines can all be placed using ultrasound guidance. We will also teach you how.
Easy-to-reference slides included in your toolkit make applying our class to practice easy.
Clearly explained topic lectures will guide you through hands-on practice with our live models.
EKG interpretation and 22 cardiovascular topics including dysrhythmias and blocks
Current pulmonology conditions including Pulmonary Embolism Well’s Criteria, PERC, D-Dimer, PESI, and management
Radiology review of the chest, abdomen, spine, and upper, and lower extremities. Includes ordering guidelines.
Lethal skin conditions, rash identification, burn management, meningitis, DVT anticoagulation guidelines.
Over 31 hands-on advanced procedures throughout each session including the Suturing Course™
