COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course focusses on introducing the concept of point-of-care ultrasound for trauma, triage, tracking, treatment & total systemic evaluation (the 5 T’s of POCUS) to the general small animal practitioner (even without any experience with ultrasound). The specialists will show how point-of-care ultrasound differs from the complete ultrasonographic examination performed by diagnostic imaging specialists and how any small animal practitioner can acquire the necessary skills to use point-of-care ultrasound in everyday practice. The theory is covered via 8 hours of online lectures (available on-demand) and covers the following topics that have conveniently been split up into four 2-hour sessions:
The Essentials of Point-of-Care Ultrasound
Abdominal Point-of-Care Ultrasound Examinations
How to Examine the Lung & Pleural Spaces
Pneumothorax, Pleural Effusion & Lung Pathology
Cardiac Ultrasound Made Easy!
Vascular Ultrasound – Estimating Fluid Status, Fluid Responsiveness & Fluid Overload
Point-of-Care Ultrasound Case-Discussions & Self-Assessment
All sessions will include pre- and post-lecture cine loop interpretations to demonstrate participant learning and confidence building throughout the course.
The on-location portion starts at 2:30pm on Day 1 with 3 hours of interactive Case-Discussions, Q&A which will give attendees the unique opportunity to apply what they have learned during Lecture Series in discussion with the world-renowned specialists. This will then be followed by the obligatory Wine & Cheese Reception allowing for attendees to socialise with colleagues and the speakers/instructors.

On the second day, 7 hours of practical sessions will give attendees plenty of opportunity to train the different point-of-care techniques on live animals, cadavers and models and to get tips and tricks in small groups (2 – 4 attendees per ultrasound machine), under the supervision of the specialists. Each attendee will rotate through the following practical stations:
Cardiac Point of Care Ultrasound
Abdominal Point of Care Ultrasound
Pulmonary (Pleural/Lung) Point of Care Ultrasound
Cardiac, Abdominal & Pulmonary POC Ultrasound on Cadaver Specimens
Ultrasound-Guided Vascular Access Techniques on Specimens
Free POC Scan Session on Live Dogs
The course fee includes, coffee/tea breaks, a wine & cheese reception, lunch on Day 2 and a certificate of attendance. To participate in the On-Location Case-Discussions & Practical Sessions, attendees are required to have first worked through the Lecture. Early course registration is recommended as there are only a limited number of places available due to the highly practical nature of this course.
