Hands-On Peripheral Vascular Ultrasound Imaging
Immediate and Effective Core Skills Training in Protocol and Practice
Immediate Benefits
You’ll learn the protocols, pathology, and thought processes behind this precise science. Every hour of you time, day and night, is focused on your outcome. Keith Mauney is an encyclopedic reference on all things vascular and he’ll personally and patiently guide you through the process.
The class is intentionally small and supportive, to foster the kind of collaborative learning that cuts through traditional training that takes far longer. Every word is focused like a laser on the data and skills you need to perform at your highest level. Comprehensive course materials support the live class and serve as a vital reference for years to come.
You’ll know all the moves and all the secrets of the experienced veterans, and you’ll raise your thinking to a new level of clarity on the subject. And when class is complete, we’ll be at your side for post conference mentoring forever.

Summary
Vessels are more than just tubes. As vascular clinicians we’re expected to know all the rules, and how blood flow measures up to them. This course takes a look at all the rules and draws the process down to it’s absolute truths. It lays out every protocol and provides you the practice to perfect them.
In short, it cuts to the core in record time. We do this through a unique format we’ve developed over the last thirty years: we start with the capillaries and work in both directions from there: venous and arterial, micro- to macro-circulation.
No matter whether you’re new to the subject or a cardiovascular veteran, we’ll tailor the our approach to you. The beauty of this course is its simplicity and the fact that nothing is overlooked.

Objectives
- Elicit a comprehensive vascular history; relate each aspect to the composite impact on vascular physiology and likely patient outcome.
- Complete an unabridged, expeditious study of the lower and upper extremity peripheral arterial and venous systems, documenting all pertinent findings and suspected pathology.
- Describe the physiologic basis for blood flow from the left ventricle to the capillary bed , through the microcirculation, and back to the heart via the venous system.
- Cite the importance and role of the metarterioles in terminal vascular perfusion failure.
- Discuss the variation in protocol for bypassed arterial vessels.
- Apply the systematic protocol for physiologic assessment of the lower or upper extremity arterial tree by physiologic testing, using segmental pressures, volume pulse recording, and doppler waveform analysis.
- Discuss the unique contribution toe pressure measurement provides in the assessment of critical capillary perfusion in peripheral arterial occlusive disease.
- Discuss the fallacy of determining acute versus chronic DVT by ultrasonic image assessment.
- Describe the features of false aneurysm and discus the differential diagnostic criteria for it.
- Describe the clinical features and diagnostic findings for A-V fistula.
- Describe the protocol for assessment of the dialysis access graft.
