    ECG WorkshopPaediatric Emergency Sonography Course

    Background
    Resuscitation in the paediatric age group is always challenging. The acute care clinician has incorporated technology to aid in diagnosing, monitoring and even treating the sick child. Point of care Ultrasound (POCUS) has evolved as the most significant technological evolution that has aided in resuscitation. Today we use POCUS as a visual stethoscope in clinical practice. It’s now claimed that POCUS is one of the most significant technological advancements aiding the acute care clinician over the past several decades.

    We the International Council of Critical Emergency Sonography have been torch bearers of the global mission to spread POCUS education to the acute care clinician and add this much-needed skill set to his armamentarium. The challenges posed by acute illnesses in the paediatric age group could be better tackled with POCUS and we have been advocates for the use of POCUS in paediatric resuscitation for close to a decade. The Paediatric Emergency Sonography course has been a regular feature of the national emergency paediatric board review course and emergency paediatric injuries and illnesses congress. It has also been well received internationally and is a great asset for any clinician involved with treating children of any age group Residents and faculties involved in paediatric emergency care or critical care mainly from Paediatrics, Emergency Medicine, Paediatric Surgery & Critical Care background.

    ECG Workshop

    Rapid Interpretation of Arrhythmias and ST Segment

    Abstract:

    This one day interactive workshop is designed to improve knowledge of ECG interpretation skills.  This workshop sets up the basic skills needed for arrhythmia and ST segment interpretation by using a step-wise approach, allowing clinician to master  patient specific ECG correlation.

    Target Audience:

    This workshop offers equal learning opportunities to physicians, medical students, nurses, and EMTs. This workshop will be helpful for the physicians preparing for both undergraduate and postgraduate examinations like MRCP, MCEM, Arab Board, PLAB, MD, FCPS, etc and will be very beneficial to those preparing for ACLS and PALS courses.

    Workshop Learning Outcomes:

    At the end of the course, the participants will be able to understand the following core skills of ECG interpretation:

    • Rhythm Analysis
    • Diagnosing Myocardial Infarction
    • All that elevated in not MI
    • ST depression – Beyond Ischemia

     

    During  the workshop, the participants will practice the following interactive exercises and skill stations:

    • Calculating the Heart Rate
    • Quick Rhythm Analysis
    • Ischemia vs Infarction
    • Cardioversion vs. Defibrillation
    Pre-hospital care ultrasound
    Empowering Rescue to resuscitation in austere environment

    Background
    Over the years use of ultrasound during disaster is limited to FAST and guided nerve block in field. This course mainly emphasize on use of point of care (POC) ultrasound for taking critical management decisions between the periods of rescue to resuscitation in austere environment and Enroute to the hospital. The workshop is offered to medical doctors, nurses and paramedics who are providing pre-hospital care.

    This is a hands on course where candidates will be trained in recognizing basic ultrasound anatomy, understanding basic physics and practical use of the ultrasound machine (Knobology),conjuring the appropriate ultrasound images and findings to the correct decision and treatment protocols.

    Objective

    BASICS OF ULTRASOUND:

    • Basic physics of ultrasound
    • Different buttons/knobs, probe orientation, Imaging modes, gain & depth setting, ultrasound artifacts and

    • The topics will feature video presentation.

    Integration of Lung ultrasound during the period of rescue to resuscitation for empowering triage and critical management decisions (CMG).

    Extended FAST & Inferior Vena cava (IVC) :

    • E-FAST: Four windows of FAST (subxiphoid, right upper quadrant, left upper quadrant and suprapubic view) & concept of extended FAST.
    • IVC: Method of Inferior vena cava (IVC) ultrasound, IVC diameter measurement and correlation with volume status of patient. Video demonstration of hypovolemic, rigid and normal IVC.
    • These will feature normal and pathological video presentation.

    Integration of E-FAST & IVC during the period of rescue to resuscitation for empowering triage and critical management decisions (CMG).

    Disability Assessment:

    • Identification  of skull fracture,
    • Method of Optic nerve seath diameter assessment and its use for assessment of raised intra-cranial pressure.

    Integration of disability assessment during the period of rescue to resuscitation for empowering triage and critical management decisions (CMG).

    Extremity [Musculoskeletal (MSK)] Ultrasound:

    • Long bone fracture detection,  
    • Nerve Blocks (mainly brachial plexus, Sciatic and Femoral nerve) for field amputation.

    Integration of MSK ultrasound during the period of rescue to resuscitation for empowering triage and critical management decisions(CMG).

    • Fracture Detection Method,
    • Nerve localization (Brachial Plexus,Femoral and Sciatic Nr)

    Traige & Sono triage – Discussion:

    • Participants will be given different case scenarios and will be asked to take the triage decisions without ultrasound and then how integration of POC ultrasound changes the triage decision.

    Mega code:
    Simulated Disaster scenario management with POC ultrasound. (Hands-on Training session)
