Kathy: Check each of the professional performance guidelines at the SVU site. The time recommended for each study should be listed under each guideline, ie.- 75 minutes for lower extremity venous, guideline #6... Andy Bebry ----- Original Message ----- From: Kathy Palmieri To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2005 3:49 PM Subject: time alloted for studies Does anyone know of a reference that is written that would state the time alloted for vascular studies. This would include a documented standard of practice for carotid, venous and arterial studies. I searched on SVU and SDMS but could not find this information. It is noted in the ICAEL Standards for echo, but nothing for vascular. I am working with a lab that needs to justify more staff. Thanks for your help.
