4/5
After completing our emergency medicine ultrasound course,
participants will be able to successfully perform a trauma FAST
exam.
Our goal is to deliver a FAST exam ultrasound training course
that
instructs participants on the proper way to evaluate trauma
patients forabnormalities around the heart and abdominal organs in
those first
critical moments. We also cover the important distinctions
involved
with scanning patients with special circumstances, such as
first
trimester pregnancy patients and catheter patients.
Our course begins with lecture, continues with case studies
and
concludes with hands on scanning. Hands on scanning is
important
because it helps patients gain an understanding of variations
in
scanning protocols. Our hands on scan labs are designed for
participants to practice the essential skills and techniques to
acquire anultrasound image for quick and accurate diagnosis. The
practice is done
on live models, which is just one factor that makes our FAST
exam
ultrasound training unique. Thanks to this high quality class
model,
AHEC is a destination for physicians from all over the
world.
