Advanced Emergency Ultrasound
This workshop offers a full day of advanced applications for emergency ultrasound. This course is designed to augment skills that emergency physicians have already acquired during a two-day introductory course. Applications covered include those encountered in critical injured patients and includes advanced echocardiography and lung ultrasound as well as ultrasound-guided procedures and venous ultrasound to assess for deep venous thrombosis. Due to the technical nature of many of these applications, a significant amount of the course will be directed towards hands-on scanning. This includes both normal models and phantoms for practicing ultrasound-guided procedures.
