SVU On Demand Webinar 012825: Infra-Popliteal and Pedal Vascular Ultrasound-OD Web 012825

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Laurie Lozansky introduces the SVU eLearning Educational Committee's goals for the year, which include presenting six webinars with a diverse range of expert speakers on advanced topics. The year aims to comprehensively cover subjects from head to toe, starting with an insightful presentation on infrapopliteal and pedovascular ultrasound by Jill Somerset. Somerset, a seasoned technical director and educator with extensive publications and a history of developing diagnostic tools, exemplifies the dynamic expertise the committee intends to feature.<br /><br />The webinar, recorded for free future access, explores the vital role of vascular technologists in managing chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), emphasizing the multi-disciplinary approach needed for these patients who often present with complex cases involving myriad comorbidities. Somerset underscores the importance of techniques like pedal acceleration time (PAT) in evaluating foot perfusion, especially important for diabetic patients. This presentation aims to enhance understanding of pedal duplex scanning, focusing on anatomical insights and practical ultrasound applications to assess and predict wound healing, critical for amputation prevention.<br /><br />Attendees are encouraged to utilize the Q&A feature, with Somerset willing to pause for questions during the presentation and provide further assistance via email for complex cases.
