Ultrasound - Critical Care Online Course

This online course is designed for those working in the critical care setting to have a fundamental understanding of the techniques and interpretation of ultrasound at the bedside with a focus on RUSH techniques including HI MAP, and ultrasound guided intervention.

The course can be done as a stand alone course or as the pre-course component of the face to face course which includes the workshop component.  It allows you to consolidate the Critical Care ultrasound principles from the comfort of your own home. The topics covered include basic echocardiography, ultrasound of the chest, abdomen, pelvis, 1st trimester obstetrics, DVT scanning and ultrasound guided intervention. Quizzes are used to ensure participants comprehend fundamental learning objectives.

Pre/Post activity
Students will be tested on their level of knowledge prior to completing the course and once they have fully completed the course. They will be given a percentage mark so they can identify where they are prior to completion of the course and at the end. Both quizzes are identical so they will be able to gauge the increase in their understanding of the subject.
Learning objectives
  1. Outline the basic principles of ultrasound including principles of image formation, understanding artefacts, the interaction of ultrasound with various body tissues and basic techniques.
  2. Describe the clinical use, techniques and normal anatomy (including normal variants) and review the ultrasound appearances of lung pathology (pleural effusions, pneumothorax, oedema, fibrosis, consolidation, and paralysed hemidiaphragm), systematic approach to assessment, pitfalls and limitations.
  3. Describe the clinical use of ultrasound, techniques, normal anatomy, image interpretation and ultrasound findings of the liver, billiary tree, spleen and pancreas (including acute findings), pitfalls and complications.
  4. Describe the clinical use of renal ultrasound, techniques, normal anatomy (including common urogenital malformations), image interpretation, common pathology and possible limitations.
  5. Describe the clinical use of ultrasound of the female pelvis and first trimester, techniques, normal anatomy and image interpretation, diagnostic criteria and common pathology.
     
Assessment information
Online pre-test with cases demonstrating pathology that will be covered throughout the course.  Online post test evaluation after completion of the course to reinforce learning.  

Quizzes are used to ensure participants comprehend fundamental learning objectives, pass mark 80%.
