Airway Clinical Ultrasound Training - SonoSim

Airway Clinical Ultrasound Training

Airway ultrasonography can serve as a very valuable adjunct in point-of-care airway management by rapidly providing practitioners critical information in real time. Airway Clinical Ultrasound Training reviews clinically relevant airway anatomy and details the sonographic appearance of the airway. Sonographic scanning technique and imaging pearls and pitfalls are discussed. How to confirm endotracheal intubation with ultrasound is also presented.

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).
