The Introduction to Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) workshop was developed to teach the basics of ultrasound physics and operation and broadly applicable POCUS skills. Designed to provide spaced repetition and to maximize hands-on practice, learners will practice focused cardiac ultrasound, lung ultrasound, DVT compression ultrasonography, and the extended Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (eFAST) exam. This course will utilize recorded pre-course content; brief, high-yield lectures; and hands-on practice to maximize learning and skill acquisition.

Note: This session requires separate registration and has limited seating. Sign up when you register for conference.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
  • Explain the basics of ultrasound physics and machine operation
  • Identify scope and indications for heart, lung, DVT compression ultrasonography, and eFAST POCUS exams
  • Contrast normal and abnormal images
  • Obtain POCUS images of the heart, lungs, deep venous system, right upper quadrant, left upper quadrant, and pelvis
  • Perform an eFAST examination
