Abstract

In the Emergency Sonography course, students will concentrate on the topic shock to learn how bedside sonography is used in emergencies and how it can complement physical examination in a variety of ways to improve initial patient assessment.

Objective

The students will be familiar with the normal findings on lung sonography and will know the most important sonographic signs of pneumothorax and recognize pleural effusion. The students will recognize important sonographic signs of cardiac left ventricular decompensation and cardiogenic shock that complement the physical status. The students will recognize sonographic signs and clues for the major obstructive causes of shock. The students will recognize important complementary sonographic signs of hyper/hypovolemia to physical status. The students will recognize sonographic signs of intraperitoneal hemorrhage as a cause of hypovolemia.

Content

During the Emergency-Sonography course, students will gain insight into the most important emergency sonography applications based on the topic shock and develop an understanding of the point of care application of sonography. Using simple patient vignettes, small groups will practice the most important emergency ultrasound applications, explain their significance and the clinical application situation. Item C on the Emergency-Refresher course serves as the foundation for this course.
