One of UAB Clinical Simulation’s newest procedural sims gets right to the point. Fine needle aspiration is a medical procedure in which a very thin needle is inserted into a mass or lesion (with or without the use of ultrasound imaging) to sample and acquire cells for microscopic evaluation.
When lives are on the line, training and practice are vital. This is literally the case when it comes to central venous line (CVL) insertions, and UAB Clinical Simulation is here to help.
Ultrasound guided peripheral intravenous (USGPIV) line insertion is considered beyond basic practice by the Alabama Board of Nursing. Fortunately, UAB Clinical Simulation offers procedural simulations in that same vein.
There’s always room for Jell-O — especially in procedural simulation. When UAB Clinical Simulation’s Ca’Nesia Jackson thought to combine gelatin with water beads, the result wasn’t edible, but instead educational.
