After completing the Ultrasound-Guided Paracentesis course, viewers should be able to explain the basic outline of ultrasound-guided paracentesis, including: methods for image optimization, ideal equipment selections and settings, identification of abdominal anatomy frequently encountered during paracentesis, and the most common procedural steps involved in performing an ultrasound-guided paracentesis.
In this first part of the Ultrasound Instrumentation course, you will develop the confidence to understand the system components, equipment controls and settings, and techniques for necessary for creating an ultrasound image.
Point-of-care ultrasound is a powerful tool in evaluating a patient for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).
