Video Titles and Captions
Video 1: Field Preparation
This video shows the proper placement of the surgical drape towels for
optimal ultrasound guided vascular access (narration provided by Dr.
Salcedo).
Video 2: Initial ultrasound survey with anesthetic
This video shows the initial short axis survey followed by a long axis
survey while anesthetizing the subcutaneous tissue with a short 22 gauge
needle to help preview the angle of the course of the access needle
(narration provided by Dr. Salcedo).
Video 3: Ultrasound Guided Access
This video demonstrates two ultrasound guided punctures of the axillary
vein using long axis ultrasound guidance and a unique twisting motion
after catching the vein wall with the needle tip (narration provided by
Dr. Salcedo).
Video 4: Pocket Incision
This video shows the creation of the pocket incision and how it should
be positioned with relation to the wire skin entry points (narration
provided by Dr. Salcedo).
Video 5: Harvest the Wires
This video displays how to harvest the wires into a newly created CIED
pocket (narration provided by Dr. Salcedo).
