Clinical guide to vascular anatomy for ultrasound-guided vascular access: upper extremity veins (basilic, brachial, cephalic), internal jugular vein, femoral vessels — identification, landmarks, and differentiating vein from artery on ultrasound.
Complete ultrasound-guided PICC insertion guide: pre-insertion vein survey, long-axis technique for basilic vein cannulation, guidewire US confirmation, catheter measurement, and intraoperative tip guidance with ECG.
Guide to ultrasound-guided peripheral IV for difficult venous access: DIVA score application, vein selection (diameter, depth), catheter length requirements, short-axis technique, common pitfalls, and when to escalate to midline or PICC.
Comprehensive guide to ultrasound technique for vascular access: probe selection, short-axis vs long-axis approach, in-plane vs out-of-plane needle guidance, dynamic vs static technique, and practical tips for needle visualization.
Implementation guide for ultrasound credentialing in vascular access programs: defining scope, training curriculum design, simulation, proctored cases, privileges documentation, maintenance, and program-level quality metrics.
Framework for ultrasound credentialing in vascular access: didactic requirements, simulation, proctored case minimums, competency assessment, scope of practice definitions, and maintenance of competency requirements per INS and AVAR.
