Practical Intermediate Echocardiography for Critical Care
PIE is a new 2-day intermediate level transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) course targeted at more experienced or advanced practitioners. This course is particularly useful to:
- Practitioners who are already performing basic level echo but would like to advance their skills and apply Doppler echo in their studies.
- Practitioners who are already performing Doppler echo but want to perfect their Doppler skills or want to learn more on assessments using proper Doppler measurements.
Our trainers are established international and local experts, who have plenty of experience in teaching echocardiography.
Course content
The course cover basic principles and clinical topics, with the emphasis on Doppler assessment. Topics* may include:
• Basics principles:
- Revisiting anatomy and views in TTE, and probe navigation
- Principles of Doppler & tissue Doppler
- Cardiac output measurement
- Pulmonary artery pressure estimation
- Mean pressure gradient and pressure half-time
- LV filling pressures inference
• Clinical topics:
- Shock
- Shortness of breath
- Sepsis
- Chest pain
- Cardiac arrest
- Valvular assessments for critical care
*Topics will be decided by the local organiser.
Pre-requisite and recommendation
- You should have attended a basic level (Level 1) critical care echocardiography course (e.g. RACEplus).
- In order to achieve the best learning outcome, we recommend that you should have performed at least 30 TTEs since attended the basic level course.
(Note: you do not need to show proof)
Course accreditation
This course has been approved by the the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine, and is accredited by the College of Intensive Care Medicine (Australia & NZ), HK College of Emergency Medicine and HK College of Anaesthesiologists for CPD/CME purpose.
