So let's review our course goal
0:05
and our learning objectives for today.
0:07
So by the end of our conversation, I'd like you,
0:09
the learner, to understand the technical equipment
0:13
and procedural steps necessary for achieving safe
0:15
arterial access, as well as understand the
0:17
complications associated with arterial access.
0:20
So to support this goal, we
0:22
have a few learning objectives.
0:23
First and foremost, I'd like you to define
0:25
vascular access and identify important
0:26
equipment used during vascular access.
0:29
I'd like you to be able to outline
0:31
important pre-procedural factors in
0:33
evaluating a patient for vascular access.
0:36
I'd like you to understand key
0:37
procedural steps of vascular access.
0:40
I want you to be able to identify
0:41
common sites of arterial access,
0:44
and explore differences in technique,
0:47
benefit, and complications of each site.
0:50
Very important is number five.
0:52
I want you to understand different
0:54
methods for achieving hemostasis
0:57
and their triamcinolone closure post-procedure.
1:01
I'd like you to identify potential complications
1:04
and ways to minimize risks of complications
1:07
during our trial access via case examples.
1:11
So just a little sort of heads-up, you're
1:13
going to have some icons that I've included
1:15
here just for your learning benefit.
1:17
They're going to be pearls and pitfalls.
1:19
The pearls are going to be sort of discussion
1:21
points that are considered to be important.
1:22
Important for you, the learner,
1:24
to help solve a problem or prevent
1:26
a problem or complication.
1:28
And then the pitfalls are going to be
1:29
technical or clinical in nature that, if
1:31
ignored, may result
1:35
in an adverse event for you and your patient,
1:39
resulting in a complication in question.
1:42
So let's begin with the tools of the
1:43
trade as it relates to vascular access.
