NJANA Winter Workshop

Saturday, March 2, 2024

NJANA Headquarters 1479 Pennington Rd., Trenton, NJ

Learn point-of-care ultrasound techniques for vascular access with hands-on lessons.

Learn crisis management skills with three hands-on simulations of crisis scenarios.

8:00 - 10:00 a.m. Vascular point of Care Ultrasound (2 Class A CE*)



Presenters:

Ravi Modh DNP, CRNA/APN

Andrew Dilks, DNP, CRNA/APN

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the utility of POCUS for peripheral vascular cannulation
2. Utilize POCUS to recognize the relevant anatomic structures to safely perform vascular cannulation.
3. Identify barriers that interfere with the implementation of POCUS into practice for peripheral vascular cannulation.
4. Demonstrate the skill of cannulating a phantom model 

10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Gastric Point of Care Ultrasound with review of current recommendations in special patient populations (2 Class A CE*)

Presenter:

Amy M. Reed, Ph.D, CRNA 

Learning Objectives:

1. Discuss the pillars of gastric ultrasonography using the I-AIM framework.
2. Discuss the current evidence-based recommendations regarding gastric ultrasonography for special populations.
3. Perform gastric ultrasound and identify anatomical landmarks.
4. Identify gastric contents through ultrasonography and discuss anesthetic implications.

12:45 p.m. - 3:45 p.m. High Stakes Crisis Management Simulation (3 Class A CE*)
