Description
The Intensive Care Echo and Basic Lung Ultrasound (ICE-BLU) course offers an in-depth exploration of essential bedside imaging techniques for critically ill patients. Accredited by the British Accreditation Council (BAC), The Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine, NHS Health Education England, and e-Learning for Healthcare (eLH), this course is specifically tailored for healthcare professionals in intensive care, acute medicine, and anaesthesia.
It covers the fundamentals of ultrasound physics, the anatomy of the heart and lungs, basic views for echocardiography, and the interpretation of left and right ventricular function. Additionally, it addresses the critical aspects of lung ultrasound, emphasising the identification of life-threatening pathologies and the management of haemodynamically unstable patients.
One of the key highlights of this course is its focus on Doppler imaging in intensive care, which enhances the quality of information obtained from basic 2D studies. This is particularly crucial for a comprehensive assessment of cardiac function. The course includes modules on basic lung ultrasound, limitations and pitfalls in imaging, pathology, and image optimisation techniques, providing a well-rounded understanding of these vital diagnostic tools.
Upon successful completion, participants will receive a certificate in Intensive Care Echo and Basic Lung Ultrasound, validating their expertise in this critical area of patient care. Join this program to stay at the forefront of medical advancements and improve your ability to deliver high-quality care in intensive care settings!
