Acromioclavicular Joint Injection - SonoSim Ultrasound Training

Acromioclavicular Joint Injection & Aspiration Ultrasound-Guided Procedure Training

Learn both the regional and sonographic anatomy of the acromioclavicular joint and how to interpret ultrasound imagery of this joint. Learn sonographic techniques and scanning approaches used in ultrasound-guided acromioclavicular joint injection and aspiration. Learn to evaluate various acromioclavicular joint pathologies with ultrasonography and clinical indications for performing acromioclavicular joint injections and acromioclavicular joint aspiration.

How it Works

Each SonoSim module contains:

  • A Didactic, Cloud-Based, Multimedia Course
  • Real-Time Knowledge Checks & a Mastery Test
  • A Series of Hands-On, Real Patient Scanning Cases Accessed with the SonoSimulator® Ultrasound Probe

The SonoSimulator Ultrasound Probe is a one-time purchase and is your access key to the SonoSim modules you license annually. License to each module is purchased in the first year, and maintained with an annual membership fee. Keep scanning and maintain all your member benefits, including annual access to all your modules, with your low annual membership fee of $295 (complimentary in your first year).

Course Highlights

SonoSim cloud-based, multimedia, didactic courses are created by leading ultrasound experts, and are internet accessible immediately after purchase, on any device. There are knowledge checks with real-time feedback throughout each course, as well as a Mastery Test that is automatically graded.

The course in this module covers topics including:

  • Procedure Indications & Contraindications
  • Site Selection
  • Sonography Anatomy & Characteristics
  • Transducer Selection & Settings
  • Ergonomic Considerations
  • Patient Positioning
  • Infection Prevention
  • Survey Scan & Procedure Steps
  • Doppler-Mode Imaging
  • Tips, Pitfalls, & Complications

SonoSimulator Scanning Cases

The SonoSimulator® helps develop and maintain the critical visuomotor and visuospatial skills that are central to image acquisition and interpretation with real patient imagery, expert tutorials on-demand, and real-time feedback on success.

The real patient scanning case in this module includes and covers:

  • Patient Type: Adult Female
  • Relevant Findings/Pathology: One Real Adult Patient Training Case
  • Transducer Types: Linear-array
  • Scanning Approaches: Lateral-to-Medial and Anterior-to-Posterior
  • Procedural Techniques: In-Plane, Out-of-Plane, and Combination Techniques

Continued Medical Education

The Acromioclavicular Joint Injection & Aspiration: Ultrasound-Guided Procedure Module starts with a review of the anatomy of the acromioclavicular joint and relevant surrounding structures. It defines commonly agreed upon indications for acromioclavicular joint injection/aspiration and reviews the sonographic anatomy and relevant anatomic landmarks that are instrumental to performing the procedure. The course discusses procedure preparation and sonographic technique for procedure execution, as well as reviews procedure tips, pitfalls, and potential complications. Acute and chronic pathologic conditions that afflict the acromioclavicular joint are discussed, including osteoarthritis, blunt trauma, rheumatologic conditions, joint separation, and joint subluxation. One is able to develop the requisite cognitive task awareness and visuospatial skills required to perform ultrasound-guided acromioclavicular joint injection and aspiration through the three hands-on simulation points.

This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of the American College of Emergency Physicians, the Illinois College of Emergency Physicians, and SonoSim, Inc. The American College of Emergency Physicians is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The American College of Emergency Physicians designates this enduring material for a maximum of 2 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Approved by the American College of Emergency Physicians for a maximum of 2 hours of ACEP Category I credit.
