These videos are based in part on SVU’s Professional Performance
Guidelines for vascular ultrasound studies. They extend and refine those
general Guidelines, which reflect behavior and performance levels
expected in clinical practice, to better reflect the day-to-day practice
of vascular technology.
The SVU Vascular Technology Professional Performance Guidelines
represent the minimal essential elements of performance as recommended
by SVU. They are not designed to replace internally generated,
laboratory specific protocols, but to serve as a basis for developing or
updating the procedure(s) described.
Each Guideline addresses the following areas:
-
Purpose
-
Common indications
-
Contraindications and limitations
-
Patient communication
-
Patient assessment and physical examination
-
Examination guidelines
-
Review of the diagnostic exam findings
-
Presentation of exam findings
-
Exam time recommendations
-
Continuing professional education
-
And more!
