We use in plane for everything in radiology, for any sort of biopsies we do. It is tricky to learn, though. And in my department we don’t really do any vascular access.
Sorry, just saw the comments about models. They are cheap but only last a week or so. Gel mix is 100gm of gelatine first softened in 5 cups of very hot water- try to disperse slowly and evenly in water as it gets lumpy, then add 5 cups cold water. As it cools add 1or 2 tablespoon of metamucil ( or other psyllium product)...I often speed cool in fridge briefly. You have to re-stir the psyllium in just before it cools too much, or else it layers out. I am told if you add chlorhexidine it is less prone to going mouldly after a week. The Veins are long modelling balloons filled with water and knotted in segments so that each 'vein' can be punctured in several places. The balloons float to surface so you either tip shape out of mould and puncture from 'bottom' or (particulalry if you are in hot environment ) set the balloons on base of model with thin layer of gel - set extra quickly in freezer then pour rest of semi-cooled mix over top. By leaving the models in the lunch boxes, they are less messy and easier to transport and clean up. Note that due to legal issues, you should always put a layer of thin plastic lunch wrap over model (excluding bubbles) as some US companies will not warranty their probes if they have touched animal protein. Store in fridge until ready to use. I will try and do a short video on making models bu there is good stuff already on internet.
This is by far the most useful US guided vascular access lecture I have ever seen!
Thank you so much.
Thank you too - feedback is priceless.
God bless you! ive been searching for the answer of how thick the beam is since i started using the ultrasound!
Excellent. You are a gifted teacher, thank you!
Thank you. There is no compliment I value more.
Indeed. A great teacher
Beautifully narrated
Awesome presentation🎉
Extremely important video
Thank you.
Many thanks for the tips and the excellent video.
I never understood why you would use longitudinal technique. Transverse non-fanned never failed for me, always worked even on the hardest cases.
For sure. Transverse gives me a better sense of all three dimensions.

Wonderful presentation. Do you have a recipe for making your " Cannulation phantom" models?
great tips!
Wonderful . love this video. very useful
Thank you. I think I mix up beam-width and sidelobe a bit.
thank you
very helpful to my interns, appreciated
thank you, I am glad it helps.
Brilliant explanation!
Thank you, needs a bit of updating though, and separation of sidelobe and beamwidth explanations - beamwidth for small things and sidelobe for large.
@@blueteam8638 cant wait to see it!
Amazing presentation! Can you tell me please, what materials did you use to create the moulage, eventually to provide a link from where I can buy it?

Thank you so much for the video! I needed this!
You are very welcome.
Excellent
