Program Information
Ultrasound is established as an essential tool in treating the
critically ill patient. Current literature supports its use displaying
decreased wait times, expedited diagnosis and treatment, and
improved patient outcomes. Since initial implementation, the use
of emergency ultrasound has grown rapidly to include studies for
both diagnostic purposes and procedural guidance. Diagnostic
emergency ultrasound is an established tool in the evaluation
of biliary disease, aortic aneurysm, ectopic pregnancy, cardiac
pathology, sepsis, pneumothorax, hemothorax, and the
evaluation of the trauma patient for free fluid in the abdomen.
Procedural ultrasound has been shown to increase success and
decrease complications of paracentesis, pericardiocentesis,
central and peripheral venous cannulation, and abscess incision
and drainage. In addition to the established uses of ultrasound
in the emergency setting, new indications continue to emerge.
Participants in this activity will receive an introduction to
emergency ultrasound. The faculty are experts in the field of
emergency ultrasound with a wide range of experience and
clinical practice. Didactic sessions focus on concise, useful
information, images, and video. Most importantly, participants
will have the opportunity to learn under the guidance
of experienced faculty and sonographers.
Intended Audience
Our target audience is emergency physicians, critical care
specialists, family practitioners, surgeons, physician's assistants,
mid-level providers, and residents.
