    Why Learn Bedside Ultrasound withCAE ICCU Imaging Solutions?

    In the fast paced clinical environment of todays medical world, having the expertise to make the

    right decisions quickly is a must. Bedside ultrasound has emerged as an invaluable tool to speed

    up and improve the management of a variety of critical and non-critical cases, but its successful

    application depends entirely on the skill of its users.

    The CAE ICCU bedside ultrasound e-learning curriculum is a unique and comprehensive

    program, which covers all components of the use of bedside ultrasound for the focused cardiac

    ultrasound (FOCUS) exam, assessment of central and peripheral vessels, and assessment ofpleural space and lung. Through 17 hours of multimedia, interactive e-learning modules and

    more than 900 multimedia questions, learners will develop expertise and confidence.

    The CAE ICCU e-learning management system is a mandatory step for practitioners seeking

    certification in critical care ultrasound from the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP).

    Our institutional licensed format, where learners earn CME credits, allows each institution to

    develop its own local expertise for tailored learning. Online assessment modules automatically

    produce reports on the learners performance, providing an accurate and immediate way to

    adapt subsequent training.

    An Accelerated Learning CurveThe CAE ICCU e-learning curriculum will allow users to acquire cognitive

    skills and knowledge on key aspects of focused clinical ultrasound and

    develop expertise in decision making on clinical management.

    Learners will be able to:

    1. Understand the principles and applications of the Focused Cardiac Ultrasound exam

    A. Correctly manipulate the transducer

    B. Understand normal and abnormal cardiac anatomy and function

    C. Establish diagnosis and appropriate intervention

    ii. Assess pericardial space (tamponade)

    iii. Assess fluid status

    2. Understand the principles of a focused general ultrasound exam

    A. Perform an assessment of the central and peripheral vessels: internal jugular, subclavian,

    femoral and peripheral veins i. Recognize anatomical variants, thrombus, artefacts and other vascular anomalies

    ii. Perform lower extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) screening

    iii. Perform ultrasound-guided line placement

    B. Assess pleural space and lungs

    i. Recognize general indications for pleural and lung ultrasounds

    ii. Identify sonographic anatomic landmarks of a normal chest

    iii. Learn how to assess simple and complex pleural effusions

    iv. Learn how to use ultrasound to perform thoracentesis

    v. Learn how to assess common lung pathologies
