RACE-Approved: 1 CE/CPD Credit for on-demand
Watch Veterinary ultrasound educator Dr. Camilla Edwards, DVM, CertAVP, MRCVS, as she shows how to perform safe and accurate fine needle aspiration of abdominal organs.
In this 1-hour webinar, Dr. Edwards demonstrates when to use fine needle aspirates, discusses alternatives, and most importantly, teaches us how to ensure patient safety when performing ultrasound-guided fine needle aspirations. Participants will learn:
- Pro tips and helpful landmarks for ultrasound-guided fine needle aspirates
- How to use wireless ultrasound both on a phantom and real patients
- Image interpretation skills to avoid structures and plan the safest path
- Minimally invasive techniques for ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration to improve patient care on the first visit
Ultrasound-guided procedures, like fine needle aspiration of pathological lesions in the abdomen, are essential to enable definitive diagnoses in many cases. Participants will learn how to use high-resolution ultrasound to guide safe, efficient, and accurate fine needle aspirations. Dr. Edwards shares best practices for reducing repeat sampling, increasing diagnostic yield, and avoiding clinical complications, while providing the answers to make the right treatment decisions.
Using ultrasound scanning video footage captured with real patients as well as demonstrated on a phantom, Dr. Edwards shares step-by-step instructions for participants to hone their ultrasound-guided fine needle aspirate skills. You will learn how to choose the best route to a pathological lesion and what safety considerations need to be taken using the latest advancements in handheld wireless ultrasound.
Dr. Edwards shares clinical imaging to help participants advance their ultrasound-guided fine needle aspirate skills to more quickly and accurately diagnose pathologies in the abdomen. You’ll learn when to take fine needle aspirates, how to ensure they get the best possible samples, and how to ensure the safest procedure.
In veterinary medicine, ultrasound-guided fine needle aspirates are commonly used to aid diagnosis in small animals because it’s inexpensive, fast, easy to perform, and relatively safe. In this webinar, Dr. Edwards offers practical tips and protocols to improve ultrasound techniques to get a real-time, accurate diagnosis for effective first-visit treatment plans to get your patients back in action faster.
They are joined by your host and emergency physician Dr. Oron Frenkel and sonographer Shelley Guenther who showcases live scanning with the new Clarius C7 HD3 Vet! Don’t miss this educational webinar – register today to brush up on your practical point-of-care ultrasound skills!
