This 3-day course aims to address focused echocardiography in critical care — not only covering the CICM syllabus for focused critical care echocardiography (2D Echo), but also giving an overview of more advanced echocardiographic features (colour flow imaging, Doppler studies, advanced haemodynamic calculations).

We also emphasise a multi-system scanning protocol integrating cardiac and lung ultrasound findings. Case discussions cover major pathologies in various shock states.

This course is recommended for trainees and consultants in ICU from beginner to intermediate skills level. Previous experience in ultrasound is strongly advised. Small groups, high number of faculty and a large proportion of the course dedicated to actual scanning ensures real hands-on experience.

Topics covered include:

• Ultrasound physics and equipment;
• Shocked patient assessment (FELS & Lung);
• Transthoracic echocardiographic views and imaging planes;
• 2D Echo (LV, RV, Pericardium & fluid status) — **as per CICM syllabus**
• Colour flow imaging and Doppler studies;
• Fluid status, fluid responsiveness and fluid tolerance.
