  Presented by Robert J. Daigle, BA, RVT, FSVU, FSDMS Produced by Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute DESCRIPTION Ultrasound Evaluation of the Upper Extremity Arterial System Training Video is designed to provide an introduction to the non-invasive evaluation of upper extremity arterial disease. Physiologic testing methods and Color duplex ultrasound methods are discussed. TARGET AUDIENCE Sonographers, sonography students, physicians and other medical professional performing and/or interpreting non-invasive vascular testing for arterial disease. Participants may include, but are not limited to, those working in Radiology, Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Family Practice, Primary Care, Cardiology, General Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Critical Care, and Emergency Medicine. Topics: • Upper extremity arterial anatomy/physiology • Atherosclerotic disease • Evaluation of thoracic outlet • Buerger's disease • Vasospastic disorders such as Raynaud's syndrome • Pre-operative assessment for radial artery harvest (CABG) or for hemodialysis access placement OBJECTIVES 1. Identify the upper extremity arterial anatomy and physiology 2. Implement routine protocols for performing upper extremity arterial evaluations 3. Recognize normal and abnormal arterial Doppler characteristics 4. Recognize ultrasound characteristics of digit occlusive disease and vasospastic disorders 5. Outline the pre-operative assessment for radial artery harvest for (CABG) or hemodialysis access placement Release date 04/29/2016. Reviewed for content accuracy 4/29/2019.
