Central line placement is indicated in patients who need hemodynamic monitoring, rapid volume resuscitation, therapies such as vasopressors, central parenteral nutrition and vesicant infusions and in patients with difficult venous access. The central line course will teach clinicians how to place subclavian lines, internal jugular lines and femoral lines using advanced simulation manikins. Our training in central line insertion covers central venous access indications, contraindications, preparation, technique, complications and their management. Techniques for triple lumen, cordis and hemodialysis catheter placement will be taught. The course will cover both landmark-based central line placement and ultrasound-guided central line insertion for internal jugular lines, subclavian lines and femoral lines. The course emphasizes ultrasound-guided vascular access
The HPC Hospitalist and Emergency Procedures course will teach you how to perform central line placement in addition to endotracheal intubation, stylet-guided intubations, laryngeal mask airway (LMA) placement, King tube placement, or fiberoptic intubations. ultrasound-guided peripheral IV access, arterial lines, POCUS exams (RUSH exams and E-FAST exams), thoracentesis, paracentesis, lumbar punctures, chest tube placement, pigtail catheter placement, needle thoracostomy, procedural sedation, and ventilator management.
