Overview
Learn how to perform ultrasound-guided thoracentesis, paracentesis, and pericardiocentesis. This course covers the use of ultrasound to detect pleural effusions, ascites, and pericardial effusions, as well as the clinical indications for each procedure.
Explore relevant anatomy, echocardiographic findings suggestive of cardiac tamponade physiology, and potential procedural complications.
Step-by-step techniques are outlined for each procedure, with a focus on developing the cognitive task awareness and visuospatial skills necessary to safely and effectively perform ultrasound-guided fluid drainage procedures.
