Pediatric Critical Care, Anesthesiology and Neonatology Bedside Ultrasound Course

Saturday, November 4, 2023, 7:30 AM - Sunday, November 5, 2023, 4:30 PM, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (Main Campus); Hub for Clinical Collaboration, Philadelphia, PA


This course is intended as an alternative to adult ultrasound courses, with a focus on pediatric indications. It is designed for neonatal, critical care and anesthesiology providers with limited or basic knowledge of bedside ultrasound. Through a combination of lectures and hands-on practical sessions using live pediatric models and simulation equipment, course attendees will learn ultrasound fundamentals (physics and principles of scanning) and ultrasound scanning techniques pertinent to pediatric practice, including basic procedural guidance (line placement, lumbar puncture, etc.) as well as diagnostic applications in cardiac, thoracic and abdominal domains. The course is taught by neonatal, critical care, anesthesiology and radiology ultrasound experts, and will have a low student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 5 to 1. A limited portion of the course will be devoted to a knowledge and skills assessment exam and a brief discussion of program development and administrative issues with regard to point-of-care ultrasound

1. Demonstrate core nonprocedural ultrasound skills (basic fluid and cardiac function assessment, FAST exam, pulmonary ultrasounds) using bedside ultrasound
2. Demonstrate core procedural ultrasound skills (intravenous line insertion and fluid drainage)
3. Discuss appropriate indications and limitations of the bedside ultrasound exam in pediatric acute care settings
