Diagnostic imaging for appendicitis is evolving and may include a point-of-care ultrasound assessment. This is especially important for the sensitive pediatric population. Pediatric ultrasound imaging requires smaller transducer footprints and adjustable frequencies to adapt to various depths and patient sizes. This live webinar will share expert techniques for performing a bedside pediatric ultrasound exam through a presentation of actual cases. After reviewing relevant literature, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss pediatric appendicitis as it pertains to POCUS with Dr. Levine.

Join Adrienne Barrett, RN, as she provides an overview of how to perform an ultrasound-guided cannulation in the hemodialysis unit including identifying anatomy on the ultrasound screen, overcoming potential barriers to adopting this skill set, and how to add ultrasound to the “tool box” used by hemodialysis nurses.

There is a need to help clinicians reduce device-related peripheral IV catheter insertion failures and improve success rates. This webinar will provide an overview regarding the use of ultrasound-guidance for patients with difficult venous access. Join Timothy Spencer, RN, for a detailed review of current clinical evidence, recommendations, and strategies regarding the use of ultrasound-guided peripheral IV catheter insertions.
