The use of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) to image the lungs, the heart and the inferior vena cava is an extremely useful skill for the assessment of patients with major trauma, circulatory shock and severe respiratory distress. In addition it is proving to be an essential aid in managing severe sepsis guiding clinicians in their decisions with respect to fluid resuscitation and use of vasopressors and has provided a useful tool for obtaining peripheral vascular access in difficult circumstances and reduced the risk and complications associated with the placement of central venous catheters. This is a very exciting area of advancing medical practice and one that will continue to evolve in coming years as the technology advances and research provides us with greater understanding.

In this course we explore the following topics:

1. RUSH Protocol : Ultrasound of the Inferior Vena Cava (IVC)

2. Basic Echocardiography: PLAX Apical and Subcostal Views

3. Lung Ultrasound

4. Introduction to Doppler Ultrasound

5. Ultrasound Guided (Advanced) Vascular Access
