SON 276L - Vascular Sonography Laboratory II Credits: 1 Description Focuses on the use of “Indirect Testing” methods in the performance of vascular ultrasound procedures in a supervised lab on campus.
Student Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate proper technique for operation of vascular ultrasound equipment.
- Recognize normal and abnormal waveform patterns seen on indirect vascular ultrasound exams.
- Know, display and practice proper techniques for safety of the patient, personnel and self.
- Demonstrate oral communication by obtaining pertinent history and related information from the patient.
- Determine proper sonographic settings and transducer selection for specific vascular exams.
- Evaluate ultrasound waveforms and pressures for appropriate settings and image quality.
- Recognize pathologic conditions on vascular ultrasound waveforms and give a differential diagnosis for pathology demonstrated.
- Recognize pathologic conditions associated with abnormal waveforms and pressures and change/modify scanning protocol to document abnormalities or enhance image quality.
- Perform an indirect vascular exam of the lower extremity arterial system.
- Perform an indirect vascular exam of the upper extremity arterial system.
- Perform an indirect vascular evaluation of the Palmer Arch.
- Perform an indirect vascular evaluation for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
