DMSU 283 — Physiologic Testing for Vascular Sonographers
This course will illustrate how to apply the appropriate algorithms for testing the arterial and venous systems of the peripheries. Students will learn the importance of proper physiologic assessment techniques, indications, and contraindications. Students will also focus on correlating the physiologic technique to venous insufficiency testing. The principles of the vascular physical examination, proper instrumentation for each type of physiological test, as well as anatomy, hemodynamics, patient history, clinical manifestations, non-invasive techniques, and interpretation will be discussed.
Prerequisites: DMSU 182, DMSU 183
