 phy for Critical Care\n\nPIE is a new 2-day intermediate level transthoraci
 c echocardiography (TTE) course targeting at more experienced or advanced p
 ractitioners. This course is particularly useful to:\n\n\nPractitioners who
  are already performing basic level echo but would like to advance their sk
 ills and apply Doppler echo in their clinical examinations.\n \nPractitione
 rs who are already performing Doppler echo but want to perfect their Dopple
 r skills or want to learn more on assessments using proper Doppler measurem
 ents.\n \nPractitioners who want to prepare for advanced critical care echo
 cardiography qualifications (e.g. EDEC\, DDU).\n\n\nOur trainers are establ
 ished international and local experts\, such as supervisors for Advanced qu
 alifications (e.g. EDEC\, DDU)\, who have plenty of experience in teaching 
 echocardiography.\n\nThis course differs from most other courses in that th
 e hands-on sessions are very interactive\, full of fun and challenges.  Ca
 ndidates are requested to complete the tasks listed in the PIE Handout in t

 rtery pressure estimations\n \nTissue Doppler and applications\n \nMean pre
 ssure gradient\, pressure half-time\, and their applications in valvular as
 sessments\n \nThe continuity equation and its applications\n \nAssessing LV
  filling pressures\n \nDifferent types of dynamic LV outflow obstructions\n
  \nPitfalls of Doppler measurements\n\n\n\n\n• Clinical topics &/or Case 
 studies may cover one or more of the following:\n\n\n\n\nShock\n \nShortnes
