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).

The 10 real patient scanning cases in this module include and cover:

Patient Types: Male & Female, 10 Adult
Relevant Findings/Pathology: Small Pericardial Effusions, Moderate Pericardial Effusions, Large Pericardial Effusions, Cardiac Tamponade Cases, Male & Female Patients with Variable Body Habitus, Multiple Diagnostic Imaging Windows
Doppler & Imaging Modes: M-Mode
Scanning Approaches: Parasternal, Apical, & Subcostal Windows
Procedure Techniques: In-Plane & Out-of-Plane Needle Guidance

Continued Medical Education

This Ultrasound-Guided Pericardiocentesis Procedure Module teaches the basic principles of how to perform an ultrasound-guided pericardiocentesis. The course explores the use of ultrasound to detect pericardial effusions, clinical indications for performing pericardiocentesis, how to identify cardiac tamponade, and the steps necessary for performing ultrasound-guided pericardiocentesis. In-module questions and a final mastery test assess didactic knowledge. The patented SonoSimulator® helps to develop the requisite cognitive task awareness and visuospatial skills required to perform ultrasound-guided pericardiocentesis.
