Critical Care Ultrasound Course - TCCD - 1 day

POCUS International Course is dedicated to Transcranial Color-Coded Doppler (TCCD) and its role in modern bedside critical care ultrasound. This module is designed to provide participants with a practical introduction to transcranial ultrasound and its clinical relevance in the assessment of cerebral circulation and neurological complications in critically ill patients. Topics include: - current guidelines and recommendations for TCCD use - TCCD as a part of POCUS - acoustic windows and brain ultrasound anatomy - basics of Color Doppler and Spectral Doppler imaging - cerebral circulation anatomy - hemodynamic measurements in cerebral blood flow assessment The day also includes hands-on practical training and interactive case analysis focused on: - head and brain trauma - cerebral edema - vasospasm - patients on ECMO - cerebral circulatory arrest This module offers a valuable opportunity to develop practical TCCD skills and understand how transcranial ultrasound can support bedside neurological assessment in critical care. 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. Why is this course different? The first programme in Poland offering a fully integrated ICU-focused POCUS curriculum International faculty - leading European experts in critical care ultrasound Evidence-based content aligned with ESICM recommendations Strong emphasis on bedside application and clinical decision-making Small-group hands-on training with direct faculty supervision MODULE 1 · FRIDAY TCCD Course 11 September 2026 Current guidelines and recommendations for TCCD usage Basic skills in TCCD as a part of POCUS Introduction to transcranial ultrasound Possibilities and applications of bedside TCCD ultrasound examination Device settings, probe and preset selection Basics of imaging in Color Doppler (CD) and Spectral Doppler (PW) options Selection of the acoustic window Ultrasonographic anatomy of the brain Anatomy of cerebral circulation Basic measurements used in the assessment of cerebral blood flow Examination demonstration Practical Exercises on Models part 1 • Brain anatomy Practical Exercises on Models part 2 • Anatomy of cerebral circulation Practical Exercises on Models part 3 • Hemodynamic measurements Practical Exercises on Models part 4 • Complete TCCD examination Interactive Session & Clinical Cases Analysis Use of ultrasound in head and brain trauma Cerebral edema - diagnostics and monitoring Vasospasm Patient on ECMO Cerebral Circulatory Arrest (CCA)
