The assessment of lung disease using POCUS has exploded since the pandemic, and continues to expand with the advancement of ultrasound technology. Join Cameron Baston MD to learn about the implementation of these growing applications in Lung POCUS to help care for critically ill patients.
What You'll Learn
- Apply and recognise the clinical guidelines for Lung POCUS in general applications such as hypoxia, shock, pneumonia, and pulmonary edoema.
- Apply and recognise the clinical guidelines for Lung POCUS in Critical Care applications such as pneumonia, empyema, ARDS, and volume overload.
- Refine Lung POCUS techniques to differentiate the changing disease states in critically ill patients. Appreciate the adoption and utility of the growing applications of Lung POCUS.
