Overview

This course is intended as an alternative to adult point-of-care ultrasound courses, with a focus on pediatric indications. It is designed for neonatal, critical care and anesthesiology providers with limited or basic knowledge of bedside ultrasound. Through a combination of lectures and hands-on practical sessions using live pediatric models and simulation equipment, course attendees will learn ultrasound fundamentals (physics and principles of scanning) and ultrasound scanning techniques pertinent to pediatric practice, including basic procedural guidance (line placement, lumbar puncture, etc.) as well as diagnostic applications in cardiac, thoracic and abdominal domains.
