Multidisciplinary Vascular Care: Essentials for Nurses, Technologists, APPs, and Sonographers
This fast-paced, practical session covers key topics in vascular care including cardiometabolic syndrome, PAD, hypertension, wound care, venous disease, and carotid management. Attendees will gain insights on imaging choices (CT vs. ultrasound), superficial and deep venous interventions, IVC reconstruction, and building effective VTE and wound programs. Case-based discussions, new perioperative guidelines, and pharmacologic management will also be addressed, with expert panels throughout to provide actionable takeaways for everyday practice.
