Singapore Advanced Critical Care Echocardiography
The Hong Kong Critical Care Echo Summit (HKCCE Summit) is the first summit in Hong Kong that offers a forum for teaching, learning and discussions for those who are interested critical care echocardiography. The purpose of the Summit is to pave the path for critical care physicians who want to acquire a higher echo qualification or to apply advanced echo in their daily clinical practice.
The Summit covers areas such as cardiogenic shock, severe sepsis, severe pulmonary hypertension and valvular diseases. There will be case studies and feedback sections for echo reporting, which suits physicians who have started to perform and report more complicated cases. These case studies and feedback will be given by international experts.
Features
- Faculty comprises mostly of international experts, many are members of the European Diploma for Advanced Critical Care Echo Committee
- The Summit is endorsed by the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine for EDEC purpose
- Interactive and feedback sections
Target audiences
- Physicians who are preparing for advanced critical care echo exam (e.g. EDEC)
- Physicians (critical care or cardiology) who wants to use advanced echo methods to manage critically ill patients
- Senior sonographers
Note: You can attend the course and enrol for EDEC afterwards.
Content
- Various Doppler applications
