Intended Learning Outcomes
- To analyze the potential use of Critical Care Echocardiography (CCE)
- To appraise the different views of interest using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)
- To outline the main parameters of left ventricular (LV) systolic function used on clinical grounds
- To integrate the main parameters of LV systolic function into clinical practice.
- To interpret the clinical value of ‘static’ parameters to evaluate fluids requirement
- To illustrate the prediction of fluid responsiveness using ‘dynamic’ parameters
- To integrate the parameters of right ventricular (RV) systolic function and the assessment of pulmonary artery pressure
- To illustrate the use of these parameters in clinical practice.
- To outline the EDEC Diploma process
- To evaluate the severity of an aortic valve disease for a non-cardiologist
- To evaluate the severity of a mitral valve disease for a non-cardiologist
- To illustrate the steps required for the assessment of patients with infective endocarditis
- To assess a clinical case illustrating the assessment of fluid responsiveness in an ARDS patient.
- To analyze the findings associated with pericardial effusion / tamponade
- To analyze the findings associated with acute aortic dissection
- To illustrate the main pitfalls and mimickers (normal anatomical structures, artifacts)
- To appraise a clinical case by illustrating the assessment of RV function in an ARDS patient under protective ventilation.
