Noninvasive Haemodynamic
Monitoring (NHM) Courses Organized by the Accident & Emergency Medicine Academic Unit, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Supported by the USCOM and Pacific Medical Systems
These courses will provide health care workers with an understanding of
cardiovascular physiology and the skills to use non-invasive haemodynamic
monitoring to improve patient care.
The Basic Course gives participants the basic knowledge and technical competence to
acquire haemodynamic data using the Ultrasonic Cardiac Output monitor (USCOM).
The Advanced Course addresses the advanced needs of clinicians who need to know
how to acquire and interpret USCOM-derived data in complex scenarios and use it to
improve patient care.
