NOTE – the Perioperative Ultrasound Course is not currently accredited for ACCME credits.
Clinical utilization of POCUS requires the practitioner to be able to acquire and optimize ultrasound images, identify sono-anatomy, interpret pathological findings on ultrasound images, and correlate these ultrasound findings with other clinical findings to establish diagnoses. Practitioners must also be able to utilize ultrasound to guide perioperative procedures, including vascular access, regional nerve blocks, and urgent therapeutic procedures such as pleural drain insertion.
Most anesthesiologists are not trained in perioperative ultrasound, despite a strong recognition of this professional practice gap. The Perioperative Ultrasound course will deliver the knowledge and interpretive practice to perform perioperative ultrasound in a consistant manner that can be done in the learners own time and place, and reduce the time required to achieve clinical competencey.
Suitable for:
Anesthesiologists

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Acquire and optimize basic ultrasound images of the lungs, heart, and abdomen.
- Interpret pathological findings on ultrasound imaging and use these findings to guide clinical decision making.
- Utilize real time ultrasound to guide vascular access, regional nerve blockade, and urgent therapeutic procedures.
