CHOP Virtual Bedside Ultrasound Course and Advances in the Field

Wednesday, November 11, 2020, 8:00 AM - Friday, November 13, 2020, 5:00 PM, VIRTUAL CONFERENCE

This course is focused on neonatal and pediatric critical care medicine beside ultrasound.  It is designed for neonatal, critical care and anesthesia providers with limited or basic knowledge of bedside ultrasonography. Through a combination of lectures, course attendees will learn ultrasound fundamentals (physics and principles of scanning) and ultrasound scanning techniques pertinent to neonatal and pediatric practice, including: basic procedural guidance (central line placement, arterial access, lumbar puncture, suprapubic tap, etc.); bladder scanning; FAFF (focused assessment of free abdominal fluid); lung evaluation; basic cardiac evaluation; and fluid and cardiac function. The course is being taught by neonatologists, cardiologists, emergency medicine physicians, anesthesiologists and critical care medicine ultrasound experts. A limited portion of this course will be devoted to a brief discussion of program development and administrative  issues with regard to point-of-care ultrasound. A third day is now offered through this virtual program, where an international group of experts will deliver lectures on advanced point-of-care ultrasound applications.

All lectures will be taped and followed by a live, interactive question and answer session.  Lectures will be repeated in a morning and afternoon session to allow for maximum participant flexibility in viewing. Registered participants will  have access to both morning and afternoon sessions on all three days with a maximum CME allowance of  12.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)TM

1. Demonstrate core nonprocedural ultrasound skills (basic fluid and cardiac function assessment, abdominal ultrasounds, pulmonary ultrasounds and cranial ultrasounds) using bedside ultrasound
2. Demonstrate core procedural ultrasound skills (intravenous line insertion and fluid drainage)
3. Discuss appropriate indication and limitation of bedside ultrasound exam in a neonatal acute care setting

The registration fee includes course registration, live stream access to the conference and access to view presentations online. For any questions, please send your email to: [email protected].
