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 and Contraindications
  • Site Selection
  • Sonographic Anatomy & Characteristics
  • Transducer Selection & Settings
  • Ergonomic Considerations
  • Patient Positioning
  • Infection Prevention
  • Survey Scan and Procedure Steps
  • Doppler-Mode Imaging
  • Tips, Pitfalls, and 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 10 real patient scanning cases in this module include and cover:

  • Patient Types: Adult Only, Male & Female
  • Relevant Findings/Pathology: Normal Patient Anatomy, Variable Body Habitus, Variable Hemodynamic and Hydration Status
  • Doppler & Imaging Modes: Power Doppler
  • Special Case Features: Compressions

Continued Medical Education

The Femoral Line Placement: Ultrasound-Guided Procedure Module teaches one how to use dynamic ultrasound guidance to perform “femoral line placement,” sometimes also referred to as “femoral vein cannulation.” The course begins by presenting indications and contraindications for ultrasound-guided femoral line placement. Then, anatomic landmarks and anatomic components of the femoral triangle are reviewed. Relevant sonographic anatomy and venous sonographic characteristics are described. Procedure preparation is discussed in detail and includes ergonomic considerations, infection prevention, optimal transducer selection, patient positioning, and the survey scan. Procedural steps, sonographic techniques, and imaging adjuncts for femoral line placement are explained. The course concludes with technical tips and pitfalls, potential complications, and a summary of salient teaching points. Ten different simulation cases help one develop the visuospatial skills required to successfully perform ultrasound-guided femoral line placement.

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 4 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 4 hours of ACEP Category I credit.
