The course will broadly cover general principles of ultrasound, how to interpret the ultrasound patterns of the major acute syndromes, and the technique of the major invasive procedures. The delegates will also have hands on practice sessions so as to make them comfortable to use ultrasound in critical care. The 2D Echo course will be interactive, have hands-on sessions & discussions, with training in bedside echocardiography. This well-structured workshop will help you to use echocardiography in septic shock, ARDS, pulmonary embolism, acute decompensation of Heart Failure and many more complex scenario |
