David, I work with Boston Scientific, and I have trained a group of RTs to use the iLook for ABGs. I have also worked with a group of cardiologists who wanted to use ultrasound guidance to gain vascular access for cardiac catheterizations on patients with pendulous abdomens.

I know the peripheral IV issue was recently discussed,but what about some others such as blood draws,ABG's and arterial lines? I have used our machine,in some very unusual circumstances,to get both venous and arterial blood samples. I take an art. line class next month and have found a few references on using US for this.
