Ultrasound in Trauma (Including E-FAST and LUNG) - 1 Day Course is organized by Australian Institute of Ultrasound (AIU) and will be held on Mar 05, 2019 at Australian Institute of Ultrasound, Gold coast, Queensland, Australia. This Conference has been approved for a maximum of 40 Category 1 points. Course Description: Extended Focussed Abdominal Scanning in Trauma (E-FAST) was the flagship of bedside ultrasound. Nowadays sending the unstable trauma patient straight to theatre is not an everyday occurrence; and, E-FAST scanning remains one of the most useful point of care ultrasound techniques, for reasons other than those proposed by its inventors. E-FAST can risk stratify the patient with an ectopic pregnancy, identify ascites, guide paracentesis, but most importantly - familiarises novices with the ‘windows’ of the abdomen. No prior experience is required for this module. After a machine familiarisation session and sonoanatomy lesson, you will be taught how to acquire a set of scans that adequately rule out free fluid in the abdominal cavity, pleural effusion, pericardial effusion and pneumothorax. Through the day you will practice the skill on different patients. You will learn about false positives and false negatives. By the end of the day, you should be able to scan, label, save and interpret a set of scans that support your clinical decision. You are not expected to become an expert in a day. However, this one day-course is all about learning what you don’t know, what you need to know, and what you need to practice safely. And, when you return, we will build on your competency with the next layer of optimisation and interpretation, with eventual integration into multisystem protocols answering clinical questions. Accreditation: ACEM |  This course accredited for 8 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours as complying with ACEM standards and policies for E-FAST.
