The Omni Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Montelucia

This workshop will feature the most practical applications of bedside ultrasound (US) in daily patient care. Applications will combine point-of-care US, with emphasis on dynamic cardio-pulmonary evaluation and US-assisted bedside procedures, including central line placement, thora- and paracentesis. Guided by experienced bedside instructors, participants will perform cardiac, pulmonary, abdominal and vascular US on simulation trainers as well as live models.
Instructors will begin with an introduction of basic physics and “knobology” focusing on the process of obtaining standard window images and their interpretation and incorporation into the process of clinical decision-making. This workshop is designed as an introductory offering, but we will meet your needs based on your previous experience.
Target Audience
This program is designed for inpatient care providers including physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Hospitalists are defined as those who spend most of their professional practice caring for hospitalized patients. Internal Medicine and Family Practice, among others, are specialties that have practitioners who care for hospitalized patients.
