Critical Care Ultrasound: Integration Into Clinical Practice November 2020

This conference has been CANCELLED.

Critical Care Ultrasound: Integration Into Clinical Practice is organized by American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) and will be held from Nov 12 - 14, 2020 at CHEST Innovation, Simulation, and Training Center, Glenview, Illinois, United States of America.

Target Audience:
The target audience includes health-care providers interested in developing a standardized approach to whole-body ultrasonography, such as the following:

• Physicians in critical care medicine, emergency medicine, internal medicine and subspecialties, anesthesia, and surgery
• Physicians-in-training, including fellows and residents
• Other independent licensed health-care practitioners
• Certificate of Completion learner

Accreditation:

CHEST designates this live activity for a maximum of 20.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

ABIM MOC Statement:
Successful completion of this CME activity enables the participant to earn up to 20.5 MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine’s (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity. It is the CME activity provider’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC points.

Nursing Credit:
Provider approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider Number 16433, for 20.5 contact hours.

Course Description:
Study whole-body ultrasonography for the diagnosis and management of the critically ill patient, using human models and state-of-the art simulators. Expert faculty will provide comprehensive training in protocol-driven image acquisition and case-based image interpretation.

Study an algorithmic approach to the ultrasound evaluation of common clinical scenarios, including:

• Hemodynamic instability and shock states
• Acute respiratory failure and dyspnea
• Acute renal failure
• Cardiac arrest

Learning Objectives:
After participating in this educational activity, you should be able to:

• Discuss the knowledge base required to perform whole-body ultrasonography in critically ill patients.
• Demonstrate and practice skills for integrating bedside echocardiography with general critical care ultrasonography.
• Practice existing ultrasound protocols for the diagnosis and management of critically ill patients.
• Develop a management strategy for patients with shock and respiratory failure using a whole-body ultrasound approach.
• Perform ultrasound-guidance for key procedures such as vascular access, pleural drainage, and peritoneal drainage as applied in critically ill patients.
• Perform image acquisition of the thorax, abdomen, and vascular structures.
• Interpret ultrasound images of the thorax, abdomen, and vascular structures.
• Demonstrate ultrasound-guided vascular access, pleural drainage, and peritoneal drainage using state-of-art simulators and task trainers.

Tuition:
Discount for nonphysicians, advanced practice providers, and physicians-in-training - $700.
