Course Overview
Point of care ultrasound is revolutionizing care for the critically
ill patient. Ultrasound allows the treating clinician to exploit the
rapid, portable and repeatable nature of the technique to assist
in decision making for those with shock, respiratory failure or in
need of invasive procedures.
Canadian Resuscitative Ultrasound Course 2016 will focus on
the core skill set required to begin the road to competency in
this exciting area. This will include didactic and hands-on
sessions, with emphasis on image acquisition, image
interpretation and clinical integration. With particular
emphasis on cardiac and respiratory failure, as well as vascular
access, this course is ideally suited for those caring for the
gravely ill patients typically seen in the ICU, the ED or OR.
Learning Strategies
This program seeks to convey a significant amount of cognitive
and technical information in a short time. Some organizational
highlights include:
• Lecture formats are interactive and engaging with
real time ultrasound exams being performed during
lectures.
• Lecture time is minimized with a flipped classroom
(pre course lectures) in favor of interactive image
interpretation sessions that challenge the participant
with interpretation and integration of ultrasound
images.
• Hands on scanning with a 2:1 learner to faculty ratio
will ensure each learner has devoted time with an
ultrasound probe and experienced scanner to guide
them.
• Each day will conclude with a simulation enhanced
post-course assessment to gauge comfort and ease
with the techniques emphasized in the course.
This practical handbook offers an
easy-access format that combines
electronic content and peer-reviewed
videos to provide comprehensive,
nonspecialty-specific guidance on this
ever-evolving technology.
Available when you register for the
course.
