Ultrasound Course Vascular Access | Basic Level | Costa Rica
San José, Costa Rica
May 10th, 2025
The aim of the Ultrasound course Vascular Access is to impart knowledge and skills on the use of ultrasound in accessing the vascular system, for the placement of central and peripheral vein catheters or other devices.
Cannulation of central venous vessels is a common practice in medicine, both for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes; traditional techniques employ blind access, with reference to anatomical landmarks.
Even cannulation of arteries and peripheral veins is usually performed with blind techniques, but it can be very difficult with not visible/palpable vessels.
Based on the FEEL and FATE clinical-ultrasound protocols. Minimum theoretical exposures and subsequent practice tutoring in healthy models.
The course is divided into three parts: Oral Presentations, Interactive Discussion of real Clinical Cases and Hands-On Practice and Mentoring on healthy models.
The trainers are experts in point-of-care ultrasound and have an extensive experience in teaching.
They provide participants with a remarkable amount of practical learnings, simulations and interactive cases.
