Introduction to Perioperative Point-of-Care Ultrasound and Focused Assessed Transthoracic Echocardiography (FATE) Conference
OVERVIEW
Introduction to Perioperative Point-of-Care Ultrasound and Focused Assessed Transthoracic Echocardiography (FATE) Conference is organized by University of North Carolina (UNC) School of Medicine and would be held on Nov 4, 2017 at UNC School of Medicine Clinical Skills and Patient Simulation Center, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event for anesthesiologists, surgeons, emergency medicine, internists and critical care physicians, with minimal or no previous experience in point-care-ultrasound and transthoracic echocardiography. This CME Conference has been approved with a maximum of 8.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
The course will provide basic training and expertise in assessing basic cardiovascular function utilizing parasternal long axis; parasternal short axis; apical 4-chamber; and subcostal views. An introduction to color flow doppler will be discussed to aid in the recognition of significant valvular pathology. Participants will also learn how to assess for the presence of lung pathologies, including pneumothorax; pleural effusions; lung consolidation; endobronchial intubation; and intraabdominal pathologies including hemoperitoneum and ascites.
A unique feature of the course with be a low faculty student ratio of 1:4, with a primary emphasis on learning the hands-on skills for image acquisition and interpretation. The activity will take place in a specially designed medical skills simulation lab, using a combination of live models, high-fidelity simulators, and experienced physician faculty and medical sonographers.
Learning Objectives are :
The information presented at this activity should improve participants’ ability to:
• Recognize and utilize knobology of the ultrasound machine to optimize ultrasound imaging, including the use of color doppler
• Identify the steps necessary to obtain and interpret images of the parasternal long axis and parasternal short axis views; the apical 4-chamber view; the subcostal 4 chamber view; and the subcostal IVC view
• Identify the steps necessary to obtain and interpret images of normal lung function and pathology, and recognize B-lines; lung sliding; lung pulse; lung point; seashore and barcode signs; and identify pneumothorax; endobronchial intubation; pleural effusion; lung consolidation; and pulmonary edema
• Perform and interpret simple hemodynamic calculations including fractional shortening (FS); ejection fraction (EF); mitral septal separation (MSS); tricuspid annular systolic excursion (TAPSE); and mitral annular systolic excursion (MAPSE).
• Utilize color doppler for qualitative assessment of valvular pathology, including mitral stenosis and regurgitation; aortic stenosis and insufficiency; and tricuspid regurgitation ? Assess qualitative left and right ventricular function
• Recognize the presence of pericardial effusions and tamponade physiology
• Assess volume status and estimate central venous pressure
• Perform a focused assessed sonography exam for trauma (FAST) to assess for the presence of intraperitoneal fluid or blood, and identify the splenorenal recess; the hepatorenal recess and the retrovesicular pouch.
