Emergency ultrasound enables physicians to make rapid decisions, identify life-threatening conditions, and expedite the management of critical patients. Additionally, the length of stay in the emergency department dramatically decreases with the use of ultrasound, subsequently increasing patient satisfaction while maintaining an even higher standard of care. Its use extends beyond emergency providers and can improve patient outcomes in a multitude of settings. (Michalke, 2012)
Purpose
This conference is designed to give the practicing Emergency Provider current information and hands-on training to improve image acquisition and interpretation of point of care ultrasound involving biliary, cardiac, and arterial exams. Practicing emergency ultrasound experts will give presentations of each topic. This will be followed by small group breakout sessions where participants will scan live models. Each small group will have an expert facilitator to ensure individualized attention and teaching that fits the needs and skill level of each participant.
Bonus Ultrasound Session
Interested in gaining some additional training on your own ultrasound machine? Bring your own ultrasound machine and several instructors will be available to provide additional instruction and training. The bonus session will go from 12:30 – 1:30 pm. Lunch will be served and 1.0 hour of credit will be offered at no additional cost.
