Basic Echocardiography in Life Support (BELS) - 1 Day Course is
organized by Australian Institute of Ultrasound (AIU) and will be held
on Nov 13, 2019 at Australian Institute of Ultrasound, Gold coast,
Queensland, Australia. This CME Conference has been approved for a
maximum of 30 Points. Description:- Is there tamponade, right heart
failure, left heart failure, massive pulmonary embolism or
hypovolemia? These are five vital questions in the acute care of
critical illness. The Basic Echocardiography in Life Support (BELS)
course teaches you simple heart views to answer these questions, and
how to cross reference with IVC scanning, to reinforce your
interpretation. With case based discussion, you will practice
recognising life-threatening pathology, and discuss how it affects
your ongoing management. This is not a comprehensive echocardiography
course, but it is an important beginning. BELS will teach you the
paradigms that underpin problem based multisystem scanning. Through
the day you will practice the skill on different patients. By the end
of the day, you should be able to scan, label, save and interpret a
set of scans that support your clinical decision. This one day-course
is all about learning what you don’t know, what you need to know,
and what you need to practice safely. Course Content:- •
Introduction of physical principles of ultrasound and probe
manipulation • Basic Echocardiography in Life Support (BELS) Course
Objectives:- At the end of this course the attendees will be able to:
• Identify the parameters of safe application of ultrasound and its
limitations in medical diagnosis • Identify the physical principles,
artefacts and the steps for image optimisation while performing
ultrasound. • Practice “hands on” ultrasound scanning skills
required to maximise diagnostic ability in answering relevant clinical
questions • Recognise the sonographic appearances of normal and
abnormal structures required to answer common clinical questions •
Perform BELS ultrasound techniques • Acquire images obtained on
normal adult volunteers & phantoms • Interpret images from normal
adult volunteers • Recognise the variants and abnormalities from
presentations and case-based learning. • Document the ultrasound
findings • Equip the learner with the foundation skills to begin to
incorporate the ultrasound skills with the clinical situation to make
appropriate management decisions
