This Ultrasound-Guided Paracentesis: Procedure Module teaches the basic principles of how to perform an ultrasound-guided paracentesis. The course explores the use of ultrasound to detect ascites, regional anatomy, clinical indications for performing paracentesis, procedural complications, and procedural steps for performing ultrasound-guided paracentesis.
In-module questions and a final mastery test assess didactic knowledge. The patented SonoSimulator® helps to develop the requisite cognitive task awareness and visuospatial skills required to perform ultrasound-guided paracentesis.
The SonoSimulator helps develop and maintain the critical psychomotor and visuospatial skills that are central to performing ultrasound-guided paracentesis. You will learn how to perform paracentesis in a convenient and risk-free setting.
