Day 2: Building on the Basics – For each topic below the learner will be able to:Advanced Lung Ultrasound• Build on basic skills developed on day 1 in order to perform a limited lung ultrasound examination to assess for pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, and consolidation.

Point-of-Care Transthoracic Echocardiography: Advanced Applications• Build on the basic skills developed on day 1 to perform a limited cardiac evaluation to assess for signs of heart failure, evaluate volume status, identify pericardial effusion, and recognize cardiac tamponade.

Hands-on Skill Session 4: Advanced Echo and LungDeep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) Detection by UltrasoundDVT screening in the office or clinic: • Recognize sonographic findings associated with DVT and perform a point-of-care DVT screening.

RUSH and Resuscitation PathwaysRUSH/FEEL: • Apply skills obtained in other sessions to evaluate the critically ill patient with shock and hypotension as well as the patient in cardiac arrest.

Abdominal: Right Upper Quadrant, Renal, Aortic Aneurysm EvaluationAugmenting the abdominal physical exam with ultrasound: • Recognize basic anatomy involved with a point-of-care screening for abdominal pathology. • Perform an assessment for ascites, hydronephrosis, and biliary pathology.

Hands-on Skill Session 5: Abdominal, RUSHUltrasound Program Management and Billing

This course includes hands-on scanning of live models and cadavers, electronic syllabus, Day 1 assessment and social hour, 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, and 2 refreshment breaks.

This course is ideal for General Internists, Intensivists, Hospitalists, Pulmonary Critical Care Physicians, Anesthesiologists, and Emergency Physicians

This unique course will provide• Anatomy review via intensive cadaver experience• Cutting-edge simulation• Live model scanning in small groups: Observation ⇒ practice ⇒ feedback

This event uses cadavers, live models, simulations and didactic lectures to provide a comprehensive and in-depth look at how and where medical ultrasound can effectively be used in point-of-care, office-based, and critical care settings.

Day 1 — Attendees will participate in hands-on sessions and lectures that will cover the basics in several areas of medical ultrasound. These skills will form the foundation for basic cardiopulmonary assessment with point-of-care ultrasound as well as procedural guidance.

Day 2 — Build from the previous day and dive into more in-depth and advanced uses, including advanced cardiopulmonary assessment, screening for abdominal pathology, and screening for deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Day 2 will also feature a lunch-and-learn session that will focus on case challenges and include lively discussions.

Day 1: The Basics – For each topic below the learner will be able to:Ultrasound Physics: Knobology, Doppler, Tricks, and Optimization• Explain the fundamental principles and image formats used in sonography. • Describe the impact of frequency on resolution and penetration with regard to image optimization.Hands-on Skill Session 1: Ultrasound Physics: Knobology, Image Optimization, DopplerPoint-of-Care Lung Ultrasound: Basics of Thoracic and Pleural Ultrasonography• Optimize the ultrasound machine for a basic lung evaluation. • Identify anatomy and artifacts associated with a limited lung evaluation as well as detect a pneumothorax.

Point-of-Care Transthoracic Echocardiography: Basic Principles• Optimize the ultrasound machine for basic cardiac evaluation as well as obtain the 4 basic views of a limited cardiac exam. • Identify basic anatomy involved with bedside transthoracic echocardiography.Hands-on Skill Session 2: Echo, LungVascular Access: Vascular Guidance and Critical Care Vascular UltrasonographyUltrasound-Guided Procedures: Paracentesis, Thoracentesis• Demonstrate needle guidance techniques and understand pertinent anatomy associated with vascular access, paracentesis, and thoracentesis.

Hands-on Skill Session 3: Vascular Access, Needle - para/thoracCase Studies/Cadaver Lab• Peer review case studies in order to learn clinical applications of the basic skills achieved in earlier sessions. • Perform basic procedures in the cadaver lab and on phantom simulators.
