Jacob Avila from www.5minsono.com introduced us to this ultrasound vascular access phantom recipe using ballistic gel and it was amazing.
Jacob Avila, MD, RDMS, from 5minsono shared this video of his recipe for making the ULTIMATE ultrasound-friendly vascular access phantom. Jacob hosts the www.5minsono.com site.
Jacob introduced us to this ballistic gel phantom for our ED ECMO Workshop at Castlefest 2015 and it worked wonderfully. Each phantom was able to accept multiple cannulations with 21 Fr cannulas! And when we were done we just melted them down and made new phantoms.

EDECMO-endorsed! Thanks, Jacob!
When I was an EMT I had a really memorable call involving a patient who was using power tools on an object held in his lap. Just sayin’…
Thanks for the tip Jordan! Shinar now wears a protective eyewear and a “cup” during demonstrations…
