Developing Ultrasound Surveillance in Vascular Nursing

This abstract has open access
Abstract Description

The Endovascular technique was rapidly developed in last two decades with the needs in community.The endovascular procedure becamethe main trend when treating peripheral vascular diseases.

The endovascular procedures were minimal invasive, patient’s length of stay was short, yet stents implanted raised concerns about the patency of vessels after procedures. Therefore, surveillance for the patency of treated vessels becamea significant role at the vascular surgery. 

The duplex ultrasound was one of the best tools for the surveillance role. The full picture of the vessel was presented,which marked with a great sensitivity and specificity and extraordinary low cost compared with other existing methods. 

A team of vascular nurses was sent to Gold Coast, Australia to study vascular ultrasound last year. The course concluded the global leading vascular ultrasound technique with explored Australian vascular nursing growth. We are planning to expend our local service on Post-procedure surveillance to meet the up-to-date needs and the global standards.
