VASCULAR TECHNOLOGY II

Catalog description

This course includes the clinical applications of arterial and venous circulation of the lower limb and abdominal circulation, which will be the focus of this course. It includes topics such as vascular anatomy, physiology, and vascular pathology of the lower limb and abdominal cavity. Laboratory tests as well as signs and symptoms related to the vascular disease process of these areas will be discussed. In the same way, the basic techniques of tracking, plethysmography, arterial and venous duplex protocols, B-mode imaging, interpretation of color flow images and the analysis of the spectral Doppler waveform will be worked on. Vascular diseases of the lower limb and abdominal cavity will be covered; and how they affect blood flow. This course meets 45 hours of theory and 45 hours in the skills laboratory for the practice of basic tracking techniques and protocols.
