Thoracic Ultrasound in the Assessment of the Acutely Unwell Patient
In-Person Event
Oct 31 - Nov 01, 2018
Cambridge, England, GB
OVERVIEW
Thoracic Ultrasound in the Assessment of the Acutely Unwell Patient is organized by Infomed Research & Training Limited and will be held from Oct 31 - Nov 01, 2018 at Holiday Inn Cambridge, Cambridge, England, United Kingdom.
The target audience for this medical event is Respiratory and Chest Physicians, Acute Medicine and Emergency Medicine Physicians, Anaesthetists and Intensivists, Also suitable for ACCS trainees. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 12.00 CPD Credits.
Conference Description:
• The course builds on the success of Infomed’s RCP-approved RCR Level 1 Thoracic Ultrasound course, which has been running since 2010, with excellent delegate feedback, and which is here augmented to cover all FAMUS curriculum (pdf) components, as well as basic Echo (fluid status).
• Offers a foundation in the ultrasound skills needed in the assessment of the acutely unwell patient (no ultrasound knowledge or experience required): an essential step towards FAMUS accreditation, and a first step towards RCR Level 1 Thoracic Ultrasound accreditation. Gain the basic knowledge and skills that will allow you to start supervised practice at work: setting up the scanner and maximizing image quality, basic scanning techniques, recognizing normal anatomy and pathologies.
• A practical course, designed to maximise opportunities for: hands-on learning, developing your interpretation skills and developing a systematic approach to ultrasound assessment (the BLUE protocol).
• If you attended Infomed’s Thoracic Ultrasound course, and are looking for a refresher, or additional competencies, then you will find that this course is for you.
• Delegates attend hands-on ultrasound skills stations, scanning on normal models, mannequins and patients under Faculty supervision, as well as iMac workstations for additional opportunities for pathology recognition and clinical case scenarios.
• Pre-course online lectures, review lectures on the day, and skills stations under expert supervision.
• Pre-course online access to lectures (video and slides), required pre-course viewing, covering the physics of ultrasound, knobology, anatomy and training pathways.
• Short review lectures and live demos each day, followed by skills stations under expert supervision for scanning learning and practice on normal models, mannequins, and patients, as well as workstations for image interpretation practice
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
