Point of Care Ultrasound encompasses a series of ultrasound examinations including transthoracic echocardiography and intravascular volume assessment, as well as lung, abdominal, and peripheral vascular ultrasound. Collectively, POCUS is an essential tool for the anesthesiologist which allows for the acquisition of ultrasound images non-invasively (as compared to transesophageal echocardiography) in multiple settings, including perioperative emergencies, to evaluate and diagnose multiple pathologies. The Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Training will have three main components: reviewing 10 hours of enduring material on POCUS, an in-person half a day session at CELA that includes both hands on workshop as well as case-based discussion, and two hour hands on follow up sessions at CELA. The objective of the course would be: 1) Demonstrate acquisition and technical skills required for basic focused cardiac, lung and abdominal ultrasound for perioperative use. 2) Diagnose common perioperative clinical problems encountered in the perioperative environment with the aid of basic focused ultrasound. 3) Gain familiarity with point-of-care ultrasound machines.

Office Hours will take place in CELA or in the PACU.
