Lung Ultrasound Course & Training | Zedu Ultrasound Training

Learn more about the Lung Ultrasound Course

Learn how to integrate lung ultrasound into the assessment of the arrested, breathless, febrile or shocked patient. Utilise lung ultrasoud for the diagnosis and management of covid-19. Understand how the image is generated to successfully correlate with the clinical presentation.

Objectives

On completion of this one-day clinically focused ultrasound program, physicians will:

Use ultrasound system controls to optimise imaging for accurate diagnosis
Develop proficiency in probe manipulation to efficiently acquire diagnostic images
Describe the limitations and clinical integration of the lung ultrasound examination
Use a systematic approach to conduct ultrasound assessment of the lungs in the shocked, arrested, breathless and febrile patient (including covid-19)
Demonstrate ultrasound guided needle placement in plane and out of plane for draining pleural effusions using ultrasound simulators

A great training course is only the beginning of your ultrasound learning journey

To help you master ultrasound and lasting change from training we engage you from the outset

Before your course:
There are pre course activities & access to preparatory learning resources to maximise your in-class experience

During your course:

Short, sharp information sessions to provide foundational knowledge and clinical context
Lots of hands-on practical sessions with real people to scan (including for TV and obstetric scans). Our standardised patients models vary in age, size, shape and mobility to make the transition to clinical reality easier.
Case studies led by practising clinicians to demonstrate clinical utility
A variety of different machines to learn on
At the conclusion of your course we’ll lead you to create a skills development action plan, creating a pathway that you can use to apply your newly acquired skills, promote clinical integration and ultimately reach your final objective – ultrasound competency

After your course:
The learning continues

We encourage self-directed learning in the workplace with structured active learning plans
A great selection of free access online medical ultrasound (FoamUS) learning resources
You can subscribe to the weekly wrap – a weekly curation of ultrasound related hot tips and journal articles
