This course provides a comprehensive guide to the ultrasound techniques used for assessing the superficial venous system, crucial for procedures such as bypass grafting and hemodialysis access fistula creation. Learn how to evaluate veins like the great and small saphenous veins, as well as the cephalic and basilic veins, by mapping their course, diameter, and patency. Key topics include the identification of normal venous structures, common anatomical variations, and potential issues such as thrombus, varicosities, and calcifications. This course is ideal for clinicians performing pre-operative venous assessments for surgical procedures.
