Point-of-care ultrasound training for anesthetists and emergency physicians
The day after attending a Basic Cardiac Ultrasound (FATE) course, Dr. Pia Ryhammer of Aarhus University Hospital made a quick and correct diagnosis of critical pericardial effusion in a heart surgery patient who survived after ultrasound guided pericardiocentesis with removal of half a liter of blood.
This true story illustrates what sets the USabcd learning concept apart from traditional training methods. When the theory has been studied in advance as e-learning, the hands-on workshops can focus 100% on actual scanning skills that will enable you to go home and save lives.
We believe in empowering you with the knowledge of point-of-care ultrasound in clinical practice so you can improve your diagnosis and patient treatment in critical, emergency and perioperative care.
