This comprehensive pre-conference workshop is for new and experienced vascular access specialists. We understand the need to remain current with guidelines and new technologies to support patients requiring vascular access. This workshop will include several hands-on stations to increase knowledge and skill to include basic and advanced techniques. Stations will include ultrasound assessment with a review and hands-on RaCeVA, RaPeVA and importance of catheter to vessel ratio. A review of standardized insertion site protocols to include ZIM for CVAD placement and AIM for arterial placement on live models. Ultrasound guided needling basic to advanced techniques required for peripheral IV to central access. This will include consideration for tunneled catheters with mini tunneling techniques.  Finally, navigation focusing on several types of CVAD insertion with use the gold standard tip location and navigation modalities. Navigation hands on training will include PICC, Port and CVC insertion utilizing ECG only, ECG with navigation and discussion of when X-ray should be utilized.

*Additional fees apply
