Books
The VATmethod includes: the hands-on TRAINING with the BOOK as a necessary companion piece -
the book re-inforces the training in written format. The book was never meant to be a stand-alone training device.
No other author will make, or has made, such a statement.
No surgeon on planet earth just 'read' the manual on the Da Vinci robot and then said, "Wheel the patient in, I'm ready."
ALL invasive surgical procedures require physical, hands-on training ALONG WITH the book knowledge.
The Science Behind the Skill of Vein Access for the IV
This is Vein Access Technologies' application of STEM to the IV procedure - advancements in Locating, Dilating, Grading, and Access veins. And the latest STEM advancements in the infusion of fluids and meds - to avoid the infiltrate.
Applying STEM to the IV procedure all but eliminates the compromises, complications, injuries, and failures associated with the current IV methods - which are not Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math based - they are trial-n-error based (anecdotal and empirical), each individual trying to perfect their own version of the procedure.
Phlebotomist Book
This book is all about the Science Behind the Skill of Phlebotomy
What you will learn from our Series of Books:
- Locate a Vein 100% of the time
- Dilate a Vein Naturally, even without a tourniquet
- Grade a Vein to ensure a Healthy Vein - (one that won't rupture upon venipuncture)
and much, much more!
The Science Behind the Skill of Vein Access for the Injection of Contrast
This is Vein Access Technologies' application of STEM to the injection of contrast procedure - improving the techniques for Locating, Dilating, Grading and Accessing veins, and improving the infusion (injection) of contrast to avoid the infiltration.
When STEM is applied to this procedure, the usual complications, compromises, injuries, and failures occurring with current method can be all but completely avoided.
STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering & Math - the solution to all venipuncture problems. And this VATmethod has already been introduced in a CE program in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Sample of the Science
Ask yourself this - Why use the Tourniquet, what for, what's the purpose?
The answers are:
1. To dilate a vein.
2. Because making the vein bigger makes it easier to locate it.
3. So they dilate a vein to locate a vein.
How's that working so far? Don't multiple stick events still happen?
Here are some of the SCIENTIFIC FACTs about that Tourniquet:
- The Tourniquet was DESIGNED to 'prevent bleeding to death' - "to cut off the flow of blood'.
- The Tourniquet never was designed to 'dilate a vein'.
- Vein dilatation with a Tourniquet is an 'Artificial Dilatation', a forced distention of the vein, an over distention with blood.
- This has been scientifically proven to cause an immediate INFILTRATION. That's not a good thing in IVs.
- And this infiltration in blood draw immediately causes a HEMOCONCENTRATION of the blood - in layman's terms - this causes the lab test results to FALSELY elevate - the lab test results are altered - FALSELY ELEVATED.
- Look both of these terms up and read the SCIENCE - or get The Science Behind the Skill of Vein Access - or see the bibliography page (to be uploaded in the next week 4/17/2015).
There's a better way - the 21cVA way - for Locating, Dilating, Grading, and Accessing Veins.
