Singapore Advanced Critical Care Echocardiography
As more and more critical care physicians can master basic echocardiography, echocardiography has become part of routine procedure in daily management of patients, especially in patients with shock or showing respiratory distress. Yet, the applications are mostly confined to simple assessment of left and right heart functions, fluid status as well as cardiac tamponade. Unfortunately, resources for those who want to advance their knowledge and skills in critical care echocardiography are limited, especially in the SE Asia region. SACCE aims to provide such a venue for those who want to learn advanced methods in assessing their patients. Due to Singapore’s unique geographical locations, SACCE is an ideal place to act as a hub for SE Asia advanced critical care echo training.
SACCE is organised jointly by Tan Tock Seng Hospital and Nepean Institute of Critical Care Education and Research(NICCER, Australia), both of which are renowned for high quality medical education program. The two bodies have now joined forces with the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) to offer this ESICM-endorsed SACCE course. This course fulfils part of the European Diploma in Advanced Critical Care Echocardiography (EDEC) examination requirements.

Recognition
This course is endorsed by the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM)
Note: You can attend the course and enrol for EDEC afterwards.

No, you do not need to show any proof.
No, you do not need to (optiional). If you want to have only one book that covers Doppler and haemodynamics principles, and cardiac mechanics for echocardiography, you may find this book suits you. This book is great for reviewing concepts both before and after the workshop.
You may need to show your travel document to prove your residential status upon registration. If you fail to provide such proof, you may have to pay the difference between a mid-to-low country price and the regular price on the spot.
