About this course
Point of Care Lung Ultrasound
Advanced level 1 Provider (LUS AL1 P)
Description
The Advanced Lung Ultrasound course is aimed for physicians who take care of patients with acute lung pathologies in stable or critical conditions.
It’s a goal-oriented approach aimed to provide the clinician with the key Advanced Lung Ultrasound knowledge on non-invasive procedures to manage patients with acute dyspenea, pneuomonia or critical lung pathologies.
The Advanced LUS is aimed for physicians (critical care, emergency, anesthesiologists, primary care, cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, pneumologists) with a previous experience in LUS and have previously participated in the WINFOCUS LUS Basic Course.
Teaching Methodology
Based on the FEEL and FATE clinical-ultrasound protocols. Minimum theoretical exposures and subsequent practice tutoring in healthy models.
The course is held in two days and is divided into three parts: Oral Presentations, Interactive Discussion of real Clinical Cases and Hands-On Practice and Mentoring on healthy models.
The trainers are experts in point-of-care ultrasound and have an extensive experience in teaching. They provide participants with a remarkable amount of practical learnings, simulations and interactive cases.
