This class will give novice learners the fundamental concepts required to effectively begin using ultrasound in critical care and transport medicine. We will cover basic ultrasound probe selection, machine setup, and adjustments required to obtain necessary views with the ultrasound machine. Students will be shown and then guided through the main exams used in Critical Care Transport - eFAST (Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma) and RUSH (Rapid Ultrasound for Shock and Hypotension).

Learning Objectives:

  • Demonstrate basic ultrasound probe selection and machine navigation.
  • Demonstrate basic components of the eFAST exam.
  • Demonstrate global heart function (hypo, normal, hyperdynamic) using parasternal long (PSL) axis view.
