Glenohumeral Joint Injection & Aspiration Ultrasound-Guided Procedure Training

Learn the indications for glenohumeral joint injection/aspiration and review the sonographic anatomy and relevant anatomic landmarks that are instrumental to performing the procedure. Glenohumeral joint injection and aspiration procedure preparation and sonographic technique for procedure execution, as well as reviews procedure tips, pitfalls, and potential complications, are discussed. Develop the cognitive task awareness and visuospatial skills required to perform ultrasound-guided glenohumeral joint injection and aspiration through the three hands-on simulation points.

How it Works

Each SonoSim module contains:

  • A Didactic, Cloud-Based, Multimedia Course
  • Real-Time Knowledge Checks & a Mastery Test
  • A Series of Hands-On, Real Patient Scanning Cases Accessed with the SonoSimulator® Ultrasound Probe

The SonoSimulator Ultrasound Probe is a one-time purchase and is your access key to the SonoSim modules you license annually. License to each module is purchased in the first year, and maintained with an annual membership fee. Keep scanning and maintain all your member benefits, including annual access to all your modules, with your low annual membership fee of $295 (complimentary in your first year).

Course Highlights

SonoSim cloud-based, multimedia, didactic courses are created by leading ultrasound experts, and are internet accessible immediately after purchase, on any device. There are knowledge checks with real-time feedback throughout each course, as well as a Mastery Test that is automatically graded.

The course in this module covers topics including:

  • Procedure Indications & Contraindications
  • Site Selection
  • Sonographic Anatomy
  • Sonography Anatomy & Characteristics
  • Transducer Selection & Settings
  • Ergonomic Considerations
  • Patient Positioning
  • Infection Prevention
  • Survey Scan & Procedure Steps
  • Tips, Pitfalls & Complications

SonoSimulator Scanning Cases

The SonoSimulator® helps develop and maintain the critical visuomotor and visuospatial skills that are central to image acquisition and interpretation with real patient imagery, expert tutorials on-demand, and real-time feedback on success.

The real patient training case in this module includes and covers:

  • Patient Types: Adult Female
  • Scanning Approaches: Anterior & Posterior Glenohumeral Joint
  • Procedural Techniques: In-Plane Needle Guidance
  • Transducer Types: Linear Array

Continued Medical Education

The Glenohumeral Joint Injection & Aspiration Ultrasound-Guided Procedure Module starts with a review of the anatomy of the glenohumeral joint and relevant surrounding structures. It defines commonly agreed upon indications for glenohumeral joint injection/aspiration and reviews the sonographic anatomy and relevant anatomic landmarks that are instrumental to performing the procedure. The module discusses procedure preparation and sonographic technique for procedure execution, as well as reviews procedure tips, pitfalls, and potential complications. One is able to develop the requisite cognitive task awareness and visuospatial skills required to perform ultrasound-guided glenohumeral joint injection and aspiration through the three hands-on simulation points.

This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of the American College of Emergency Physicians, the Illinois College of Emergency Physicians, and SonoSim, Inc. The American College of Emergency Physicians is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The American College of Emergency Physicians designates this enduring material for a maximum of 2 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Approved by the American College of Emergency Physicians for a maximum of 2 hours of ACEP Category I credit.
