Course Description
The Advanced Certificate in Emergency Ultrasound equips you with knowledge required about the applications of ultrasound in an emergency setting where time is crucial. Through this course, you will understand important, potentially life-threatening pathologies of major organ systems – aortic dissection and aortic rupture, hydronephrosis, free fluid in the abdomen, ectopic pregnancy, heart failure, pulmonary embolism, tumors and masses, and more.
The advanced certificate in ultrasound course covers all the primary applications of pediatric emergency ultrasound and gynecological and obstetric applications as well.
The fundamentals of imaging and instrumentation are comprehensively covered, and you will learn to identify the appropriate equipment settings and transducer selection for different ultrasound applications through examples and real cases. You will be able to understand variations in scanning protocols for the demonstration of pathologies in emergency medicine examinations. The course also covers the most common fields in pediatric examinations, through sessions on Vascular Access, Abdomen & Retro peritoneum, Appendicitis, Soft Tissue, Pediatric Cardiac Ultrasound and Pulmonary Ultrasound.
This self-paced course allows you to upskill yourself while managing your clinical responsibilities. This course is an essential step for achieving your Fellowship in Emergency Ultrasound.
