Venue Go R4 Ultrasound Package

Introduction:

The Venue Go R4 Ultrasound package equipment and software provides exceptional image quality using advanced cSoundTM image technology and APU backend.

Period and Place of Performance:

The installation of the equipment will be placed the Kansas City Veteran Affairs Medical Center in the Valor Building at: 4801 E Linwood Boulevard, Kansas City, MO 64128. The estimated date for the good to be on site is April 2024. The equipment allows various simulation trainings to be conducted throughout the facility with its portable capability.

Justification:

The Venue Go R4 Ultrasound (US) machine will be used during Central line training of physician residents, and training for ultrasound guided peripheral IV in nursing. The current machine is outdated and no longer functionable to offer quality training. This ultrasound machine will be a replacement as well as mimics the machine the physicians are currently using, allowing standardized training across multiple service lines. Borrowing similar equipment from other units takes away from patient care and leads to

potential delays. Ultrasound simulation is an evidence-based method of instructing learners how to acquire, interpret, and integrate ultrasound imagery towards medical decision making.

Functionality of the Ultrasound includes visualizing through simulated task trainers to identify specific area on simulated body part to establish or perform a procedure. Performing procedures on task trainers prevents patient harm and expedites the procedures at the bedside when performing on patients. The Ultrasound helps clinicians and Providers view anatomical locations in the body prior to using a needle or scalpel to insert equipment for patient monitoring/functioning. These procedures include central line placement, Lumbar Punctures, paracentesis, thoracentesis, thyroid biopsy, ultrasound guided peripheral IV, can be used on the manikin with RFID chips to visualize lung fields, cardiac area, and more. This machine will primarily be used in the simulation room to provide training to clinicians and providers.
