Ready to level up your “stick” and own the vein with confidence? This hands-on, high-impact workshop takes you from venipuncture essentials to advanced vascular access techniques, including IV catheter placement, central lines, and PICC lines. We focus on what really matters in practice: smart decision-making, clean technique, and navigating those tough, “pokes”.
Attendees will train using EVTraining veins to build true-to-life skills, repetition, and muscle memory that carry straight into patient care. This is about more than placing lines; it’s about stepping into your full clinical value, improving patient outcomes, and showing what empowered veterinary professionals can do.
- Improve first-stick success in venipuncture and peripheral IVC placement
- Identify when to escalate from peripheral access to central lines and PICC lines
- Troubleshoot common challenges such as difficult veins and repeated failed attempts
- Advocate for VA/CrVT utilization to improve patient safety and team efficiency
