Bringing ultrasound into multi-disciplinary emergency scenarios
The simulation suite at the University Hospital of South Manchester recently piloted a course aimed at developing and improving how emergencies are managed in cardiac catheter labs and exploring if team training, through a programme of workshops and simulation would be beneficial. Using the HeartWorks TTE mobile simulator, the new Catheter Lab Emergency Management Simulation…
Makes sense whichever way you look at it!
‘One of the most difficult things for beginning sonographers to overcome is the cognitive disconnect between what they see on an ultrasound display and the reality of the 3 dimensional object that is the human body’, says Samuel Yoders, Director of the Cardiovascular Sonography Program. Nova Southeastern University Tampa was one of the first to…
