2018 Skill Lab
The objective of the skills lab sessions 1 and 2 required class attendance is to physically perform the skills to become familiar with the techniques. Competence is developed after performing many of these in clinical experiences (often need to do 10 for credentialing purpose). Please review the procedures so you can go right into performance. There will be no in class lectures on this content and you will be tested over this material on Exam 1.
Procedures:
- Central line insertion
- Paracentesis
- Chest tube insertion
- Incision and Drain
- Punch Biopsy
- Endotracheal intubation
- Lumbar Puncture
- Arterial Line insertion
- Easy IO
You will go to all of the skill stations and perform the skill. The faculty will sign at each station as you complete. You will turn in your Skills sheet with signatures at the end of the class. I anticipate it taking the full time so plan accordingly. However, when you have completed all stations you can turn in your sheet and leave.
I look forward to seeing you at the Skills practice sessions.
