Learn more about the Lung - Online Course

Objectives

On completion of this online ultrasound program, learners will be able to:

  • Compare the advantages and disadvantages of the linear, phased and curved array probes for ultrasound examination of the lungs
  • Outline the scan protocols and transducer placement for ultrasound examination of the lungs
  • Discuss the distinct imaging patterns and ultrasound artifacts that influence the clinical interpretation of lung ultrasound
  • Describe a systematic approach to conduct ultrasound assessment of the lungs in the shocked, arrested, breathless and febrile patient (including covid-19)

PLUS - included in this module is our Getting Started in Ultrasound program

This online module is perfect for getting started. Through a combination of focused video explanations and guided interactive activities you will be able to:
  • Navigate your way around your system and its primary functions
  • Set up for an ultrasound exam
  • Choose the appropriate imaging mode - B-mode, M-mode, colour Doppler, power Doppler, spectral Doppler
  • Optimise your image
  • Make accurate measurements
  • Archive your images
You’ll also learn the fundamental and often neglected building blocks of successful imaging:
  • How you can find the right window to get the best view of the anatomy
  • What actions you can take to purposefully get the best image that you can
  • How to scan safely
  • How to look after your machine
