In modern clinical settings, the “blind” or landmark-based approach to venous access is rapidly becoming a relic of the past. For clinicians, the stakes are high: failed attempts, patient discomfort, and increased risk of complications like hematomas or infections can stall care and impact patient outcomes and overall health.
If you are ready to transition from basic landmark techniques to a higher standard of precision, the new Ultrasound-Guided MidLine/PICC Line Venous Access course from Maverick Medical Education is your definitive next step.
Why Ultrasound-Guided Access?
The integration of ultrasound into this procedure completely changes the game. By allowing you to visualize the vessel, guide the needle in real-time, and confirm placement, ultrasound-guided access ensures:
- Safer Access: Drastically reduced risk of accidental arterial puncture or nerve injury.
- Greater Accuracy: Higher first-pass success rates, even in patients with difficult vascular access.
- Patient Satisfaction: Fewer needle sticks and faster procedure times.
The Maverick Training Model: Beyond the Screen
At Maverick Medical Education, we go beyond teaching you how to look at an ultrasound screen and guide you how to perform hands-on. Our unique hybrid training model combines the flexibility of online learning with the rigor of a high-fidelity lab.
1. Foundational Online Modules. Before arriving for your hands-on session, you’ll complete self-paced didactic modules covering:
- The history and fundamentals of ultrasound.
- Ultrasound image optimization and vessel identification.
- Complete anatomy of the upper-arm venous system.
- Out-of-plane and in-plane scanning techniques.
- Best practices for Midline and PICC cannulation.
2. Realistic Hands-On Lab. Theory only takes you so far. In our lab, you will use cadavers specially embalmed using our proprietary method. This isn’t a plastic mannequin; our specially preserved cadavers provide realistic tissue resistance and vessel feel, mirroring the conditions of a live patient. You will practice:
- The Modified Seldinger Technique for both PICC and Midline insertion.
- Precise needle visualization and vessel entry.
- Successful wire advancement and catheter placement.
Confidence at the Bedside
This course is designed for clinicians who want to return to their facility with more than just a certificate. You will leave with the muscle memory and procedural confidence to perform Midline and PICC placements with patients consistently and safely.
Space is limited for our hands-on sessions to ensure every student receives personalized instruction from our expert team. Don’t miss the opportunity to master this essential clinical skill.
