Critical Care Ultrasound Course - POCUS - 2 days

The POCUS International Course is dedicated to Lungs & Abdomen ultrasound in critical care and Heart & Vessels ultrasound and its practical role in the assessment of cardiovascular function and hemodynamics in critically ill patients. This module focuses on core practical applications of thoracic and abdominal point-of-care ultrasound in the ICU and emergency setting. Participants will build a structured approach to bedside examination, image interpretation, and the recognition of key pathological findings. Topics include: - current guidelines and recommendations for Lungs & Abdomen POCUS - basic practical skills in thoracic and abdominal ultrasound - introduction to lung ultrasound - lung artifacts and characteristic signs - abdominal POCUS in ICU patients - current guidelines and recommendations for Heart and Vessels POCUS standard cardiac views in focused cardiac ultrasound - assessment of left ventricular systolic function - assessment of right ventricular function - basic hemodynamic measurements in critical care practice Two days includes a live examination demonstration, practical exercises, and interactive training stations covering: - basic lung and thoracic examination - lung pathology recognition - basic abdominal anatomy - abdominal scanning fundamentals - SAX and LAX views - A4CH and A5CH views - hemodynamic measurements - IVC, aorta, and DVT assessment The module concludes with an interactive clinical session based on real cases and practical interpretation. This is a highly relevant training day for clinicians looking to strengthen bedside diagnostic skills in patients with respiratory and abdominal pathology. International ultrasound course designed for clinicians at beginner and intermediate levels of experience. Who should attend? Intensivists, anaesthesiologists, emergency physicians and clinicians working in acute and critical care settings who want to apply POCUS confidently, systematically and according to European standards.
