International forum on the use of ultrasound (US) for hemodynamic and pulmonary monitoring in the critically ill patient


FICC international forum in critical care is proud the present the First International forum on the use of ultrasound (US) for hemodynamic and pulmonary monitoring applied to the critically ill patient, Bogotá, Colombia 2017.  International experts and hands-on experience with life models will guide the attendant into the new hemodynamic and pulmonary monitoring tools available with US. Some of this experts (Prof Daniel De Backer, Prof. Paul Mayo) have being in our blog previously (Echocardiography for Hemodynamic Monitoring 2015, Brussels, Belgium, November 2015 Comprehensive summary).
The differences between this course and other local courses is that it specifically applies to critically ill patients and that all the speakers are currently engaged with treating ICU patients. This makes a big difference for the intensivist as he/she can relate and thus increase attention and will to learn.
Another big objective of the course as that the attendant will be able to use the ultrasound machine the next day at work when he/she is confronted with a difficult case. The course is planned for 50 people only, in order the ensure that the attendee learns to proper skills to monitor the hemodynamic and pulmonary variables in his/her critically ill patient. These new techniques are not invasive, available at the bedside and cost-effectives as the intensivist can initiate the proper treatment fast. The course also includes hemodynamic and pulmonary monitoring in specific ICU populations not seen in the ED or in the operating room, such as patients with ARDS and post-cardiac surgery shock.
Lastly, the course also includes lunches and refreshments and the opportunity the share with others at the FICC lounge-party.
Join us for a three day course on ultrasound-based hemodynamic and pulmonary monitoring applied to critically ill patients.
