VAS 144 – Vascular Clinical II
Course
Description
Provides the student
opportunities to participate and perform competencies achieved in the
noninvasive vascular laboratories and radiology departments. Also, the student
will practice competencies to include abdominal, visceral and extremity venous
vascular procedures. Topics include: equipment utilization; patient history,
identifying risk factors, and contributing disease; procedural skills and
patient care; extremity venous vascular procedures, cerebrovascular testing, advanced
cerebrovascular testing, extremity arterial vascular procedures, and indirect
testing.
