DAY 1 - Saturday 5th December |
|
A key feature
of NPOCUS 2008 was our hands-on training days - the Course-within-the-Congress
programme. This reflects the fact that in point-of-care ultrasound, the main
agenda will be training to get people practising for the short and intermediate
term. In the long term, we envisage more specialist/research bias.
The CwtC programmes also provide some recognition of structured 'foundation'
training in a particular area of practice. Hence delegates get to take away
training documentation (as they would do if they went on a specific study day)
as well as attending scientific sessions on other days as part of the wider
conference programme.
As most of the key training/sessions are on the
Saturday, delegates cannot book Saturday on its own. It must be booked with
another conference day. Sunday or Monday can be booked on their
own. |

Integrated Workshops
- these integrated workshops will be delivered by an experienced international

College of Emergency Medicine Level
1
This integrated workshop is aimed at clinicians in the field of emergency
medicine. The content of the workshop is in line with the College of Emergency
Medicine curriculum and provides the practitioner with the core skills and
knowledge of Level 1: FAST, AAA, the heart in cardiac arrest and vascular
access scanning. This workshop will be led by experienced CEM faculty. |
Echocardiography for Emergency
Medicine & Critical Care
Aimed at clinicians in critical care and emergency medicine, this workshop
provides the knowledge behind the use of focused echocardiography at the point
of care. In addition, we will introduce the skills with plenty of hands on
sessions on normal and abnormal models. The workshop will be led by experienced
international faculty. |
Ultrasound in the Undifferentiated
Shocked Patient
This workshop is aimed at clinicians who regularly manage patients with
undifferentiated shock. Focusing on a structured technique for evaluating
various body regions, major causes of shock should be easier to quickly
identify and treat. International experts will be leading this session. |
Ultrasound for Acute
Physicians
From management of acute medical conditions assessment of patients in clinic
and on the ward, this workshop will provide a foundation in the use of
ultrasound as a clinical adjunct. This will cover focused echo, chest, vascular
access and more. The workshop will be led by an international faculty. |
Introduction to Ultrasound for
Surgeons
Point of Care ultrasound can provide many advantages for surgeons in their day
to day practice. This integrated workshop will cover the theory and practice of
key areas such as ultrasound guided line placement, evaluation of the abdominal
aorta, detection of free intraabdominal fluid. The workshop will be led by an
international faculty. |

Further
to Saturday 5th December, NPoCUS 2009 will be held jointly with Euroson 2009.
The sessions most appropriate to NPoCUS delegates are shown on the programme
below, but you will be free to attend any other scientific sessions held as
part of Euroson. Proffered papers for NPoCUS will be fitted into any free
sessions.
