Course Description

The Short Course in Ultrasound in Emergency Medicine is designed to train healthcare professionals in the use of ultrasound for quick and accurate diagnosis in critical situations. Participants will learn key POCUS techniques for trauma assessment (eFAST), cardiac function evaluation, vascular access, and abdominal scanning. The course emphasizes hands-on training, real-time image interpretation, and decision-making in emergency scenarios. Graduates will gain the confidence to integrate ultrasound into emergency and critical care practice.

The main objectives of this program are to:

Increase the participant’s knowledge to better perform and/or interpret emergency medicine and critical care ultrasound examinations.
Increase competence to incorporate protocols, scan techniques, and interpretation criteria into clinical practice
State the basic fundamentals of ultrasound physics and demonstrate appropriate optimization for system controls.
Demonstrate scan protocols for focused evaluation of the trauma patient (E-FAST exam), pneumothorax, abdomen, aorta/IVC, DVT, ocular & airway/thoracic, soft tissue and musculoskeletal applications, adult heart, and female pelvis.
State an algorithm for uses of bedside ultrasound during cardiac arrest, sepsis, shock, and hypotension.
Demonstrate image orientation, transducer preparation, and scan protocols for performing use of ultrasound guidance for central & peripheral vascular access, pericardiocentesis, paracentesis, thoracentesis, hemothorax, lumbar puncture, and joint aspiration.
Differentiate normal/abnormal image characteristics of the abdomen, female pelvis, first trimester OB, and ectopic pregnancy.
Identify sonographic characteristics associated with abdominal sepsis involving the hepatobiliary, renal, and GI systems.
