COVID and FATE Ultrasound | Targeted Lung and Cardiac Assessment (Jan 07 - 08, 2023)

COVID and FATE Ultrasound | Targeted Lung and Cardiac Assessment is organized by Keith Mauney & Associates (KMA) Ultrasound Training Institutes and will be held from Jan 07 - 08, 2023 at Homewood Suites by Hilton Dallas-Irving-Las Colinas, Irving, Texas, United States of America.

Objectives:
Their method is completely focused on diagnosing the patient. We are acquainted with every ultrasound device and the rationale of the manufacturer for its design as well as the features and functions. Faculty members do not have any commercial or other interests which could affect the content of their courses. There isn't a formal test in this course: we assess you constantly and give positive feedback as well as gentle corrections throughout. After completing this exercise and by continuing to review you should be competent to:

• Describe the normal structure of the human heart and the electromechanical activities that control and regulate its functions.
• Conduct a comprehensive study of the heart using 2-D and M-Mode ultrasound images Document and measure every structure in all regular views. Expand the procedure as needed to document any inconsistencies or possible pathological findings.
• Connect 2-D image anatomy to its M-mode pattern. Compare and contrast different methods of display.
• Assess the accuracy of data gathered and disclose any limitations.
• Provide the normal range measurements for each primary cardiac structure and physiologic function.
• Identify each anatomic region and heart segment in any echocardiographic image and connect it to the usual coronary distribution.
• Find out if there are any abnormalities in resting cardiac wall motion as well as thickening by using the standard terms and classify them according to their clinical importance
• Discuss the basis, significance, and pitfalls of the following measures of cardiac function:
       • Ejection fraction & fractional shortening
       • % Wall thickening
       • MAPSE, TAPSE
       • Stroke volume
       • Cardiac output
       • Cardiac index
       • LV mass.
• Identify and distinguish hypertrophy in the ventricular artery by its chamber type, size, and type.
• Identify, classify and analyze the impact of pericardial effusion on the patient when assessing suspected tamponade.
• Identify and discuss the Doppler and image parameters that are associated with the subaortic obstruction.
• Demonstrate the method to visualize the posteromedial apical fossa as well as the LA appendage to look for the presence of a thrombus.
• Identify and differentiate the features of pedunculated. mural thrombus. tumor.
• Note the characteristics of valvular vegetable excrescence and. thickening of the fibrosis.
• Record and quantify the flow of blood throughout the entire heart by using colors and the spectral Doppler when appropriate in all views.
• Increase the sensitivity of your system to color and the spectral Doppler to prevent the most frequent false negative results.
• Define the following terms and relate them to their clinical impact in the Doppler assessment of altered hemodynamic states:
       • Preload
       • Afterload
       • Bernoulli effect
       • Pouiselle’s law
       • Valvular regurgitation/insufficiency
       • Tachycardia
       • Hypo/hyperkinesis and akinesis; differentiate these terms from their equivalent dynamic state
       • Paradoxical motion.
• Based on clinical findings, select, describe the basis for, and execute the appropriate Doppler calculation for a given pathological state, including:
       • Expanded vs. simplified Bernoulli equation for AS
       • Peak/mean pressure gradient
       • Continuity equation
       • Pressure half-time for mitral stenosis or aortic insufficiency
       • Color Doppler of mitral and/or aortic valve orifice area
       • Pulmonary valve acceleration time
       • Subjective and objective methods of grading insufficiency in all four valves
       • E/A ratio, E/E’ TDI ratio, pulmonary vein reversal, tissue Doppler, and MV deceleration time.
       • State a concise summary of all findings using standard terminology.
