Programma

Obtaining peripheral intravenous access is as common as it is difficult, even for experienced nurses. This is especially true for patients with a history of long treatment, which often leads to difficult intravenous access.

The use of ultrasound by nurses is becoming more common and can reduce the number of attempts and complications. Proper training and performing the procedure based on standards reduces the cost of care and increases patient satisfaction.

This presentation will discuss the scientific basis for the rationale for the use of ultrasound by nurses, techniques for performing the procedure and standards for education in this area.
