Chest Advanced Critical Care Echocardiography 2020

Work with expert-level faculty to review the cognitive base of advanced critical care echocardiography (ACCE) that is relevant to the upcoming National Board of Echocardiography (NBE) Examination of Special Competence in Critical Care Echocardiography (CCEeXAM). The board review course is specifically designed for learners who are scheduled to take the examination and will focus on refining mastery of image interpretation, clinical applications, and the knowledge base of ACCE.

❇️❇️ Review Key Components of ACCE, including:
💢 M mode, 2D, and Doppler physics
💢 Measurement of stroke volume/cardiac output (SV/CO)
💢 Assessment of left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) function
💢 Measurement of filling pressures and diastolic function
💢 Evaluation of valve function
💢 Determination of preload sensitivity
💢 Measurement of intracardiac pressures and flows
💢 Evaluation of heart-lung interactions
💢 Evaluation of pericardial disease
💢 Evaluation of catheters and devices
💢 Relevant components—whole body ultrasonography
