Course Description
Vascular access is a core, life-saving skill in acute care settings.
This comprehensive learning module provides structured training in vascular access for learners and practicing clinicians. It integrates procedural technique with infection prevention (CLABSI principles), ultrasound guidance, and evidence-based best practices.
The course emphasizes safe, effective, and standardized approaches to central venous and arterial access across clinical contexts.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this module, learners will be able to:
- Identify indications for central venous and arterial access
- Select appropriate vascular access sites based on patient and clinical context
- Describe required equipment for vascular access procedures
- Perform ultrasound-guided central venous access using sterile technique
- Demonstrate proper procedural steps including needle insertion, guidewire placement, dilation, and catheter insertion
- Recognize complications and implement appropriate prevention and management strategies
- Perform arterial catheterization (radial and femoral)
- Apply infection prevention strategies including CLABSI principles
- Differentiate between arterial vs non-invasive blood pressure monitoring
