You have now completed the e-course about the basic ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blocks
You have fulfilled the following learning objectives:
– Understanding the basic anatomy and sonoanatomy of the basic nerve blocks
– Knowing how to perform each of the basic nerve blocks
– Knowing about the pitfalls
Now you are ready to join the hands-on training
The hands-on Basic POCUS course is based on the same principles as this e-learning and it covers:
The basics – simple but qualified
The content of this course has been carefully selected to answer the questions on life-threatening and time-critical conditions that focused ultrasonography can answer
It has been the intention to teach you how to use an ultrasound transducer like you use your stethoscope and put it in your pocket – not instead of your stethoscope, but complementing it
There are no algorithms and no protocol names – the focus is on decision-making in individual patients using ultrasonography
Only the necessary examinations are performed – and they depend on you and the clinical
question you ask regarding your patient
This e-course has taken you through answering these clinical questions using focused ultrasonography.
Heart
No protocol
You are not forced to stick to a specific protocol.
Ask a clinical question.
If it can be answered using ultrasonography – pick up the ultrasound transducer.
When the question is answered, put down the transducer and take care of the patient.
Integrated
This way, the focused ultrasonography examination can be integrated into your primary examination of the patient.
By integrating the results of your focused ultrasonography into the results when exploring the medical history and performing the physical history and other point-of-care diagnostics, you can improve patient management.
