Ultrasound-guided vascular access (POC002)

This course demonstrated the basics of vascular USS and the utilization of ultrasound in obtaining vascular accesses, including peripheral and central veins and arteries. The complications related to delay in getting appropriate vascular lines in pediatric patients are standard, and getting the line in time is lifesaving. Therefore, applying ultrasound-guided vascular access to our practice is no longer optional. It is a mandatory intervention. The current literature identified the ability of this intervention to reduce the risk of vascular injuries and access failure.
