Vascular Access Cadaveric Lab Supported by Teleflex



Join us for a high-impact, 4-hour vascular access procedure lab designed specifically for clinicians who are ready to elevate their skills and gain practical, hands-on experience with advanced techniques. This exclusive pre-conference session offers a rare opportunity to work with cadaveric tissue, allowing you to directly apply and refine invasive procedures while boosting your procedural confidence.

What’s in it for you?




  • Mid-thigh Femoral PICC Insertion and Tunneling Techniques - Practice the most complex vascular access techniques, with hands-on training to help enhance the care provided to your patients and meet evolving clinical needs.

  • RaCeVA & RaPeVA Ultrasound Assessment - Get up close with these recommended techniques for vein and artery assessment. These ultrasound-guided methods will sharpen your ability to place both central venous catheters and peripheral access lines with confidence.

  • Acute & Long-Term Central Venous Catheters - Learn to insert and manage central venous lines with real-world practice. Understand best practices to help reduce complications and improve patient outcomes.

  • Ultrasound-Guided Needling - Refine your needle technique for both peripheral and acute catheter placement with guided, hands-on practice.

  • Intraosseous Access Insertion and Management - In emergency scenarios, intraosseous access can save lives. Learn to perform this critical procedure quickly and safely.

  • Tip Location Technology - Advance your understanding for ECG guided CVAD insertion.



Why This Matters:


With this hands-on lab, you’re learning cutting-edge technology with expert guidance. You’ll leave with refined skills, new techniques, and a boost in clinical confidence, ready to tackle even the most complex vascular access challenges in your practice.

This is your chance to advance, improve, or further develop your vascular access expertise. Don’t miss out!

Learning Objectives:

  • Perform a full RaCeVA and RaPeVA pre-assessment with use of ultrasound to compliment catheter to vessel ratio application.
  • Describe leading the needle while demonstrating needling techniques with ultrasound guidance.
  • Demonstrate traditional short and long term CVAD insertion to include femorally inserted central catheters using ECG.
  • Identify when IO should be considered, insertion technique, care and removal.
  • Define various anatomical structures related to tunnelling and mid-thigh device insertion.
