CCOOUURRSSEE DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN::This course is designed to benefit practicing clinicians who want a comprehensive review of thebasic echocardiographic anatomy of the heart and intermediate level practitioners who want tohave an update on the latest echocardiographic techniques. Teaching methods includes didacticlectures, panel discussions, question and answers, problems solving, demonstrations, games hands-on skills stations, case review and feedback using an audience response system. This activity isdesigned to address the lack of knowledge and competence for those who have received noadvance training in this area; and lack of performance for those who have the basic skills buthave not had the opportunity for the hands-on training, which will expand their capabilities ofprobe manipulations during high risk surgeries.
Clinicians planning on taking the Echo Boards exam for Special Competence in Perioperative TEEas well as clinicians planning on taking the “Basic TEE Exam” can enroll in the “Echo BoardsReview” session, which will include a review of echo questions as well as video clips, followed bya simulated echo boards exam. The NBE, its officers and directors have no involvement withthe Echo Boards Review portion of this course or the simulated exam.
TTAARRGGEETT AAUUDDIIEENNCCEE::Participants attending the Perioperative Transesophageal Echocardiography (PTEE) course arephysician based, with a specialty in anesthesiology and cardiology. Participants come from with-in the continental US and as far away as Canada, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and theUnited Kingdom.
LLEEAARRNNIINNGG OOBBJJEECCTTIIVVEESS::Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Evaluate the basics of comprehensive intraoperative echo examination, valvular assessmentand repair/replacement, and advanced diastolic function and Doppler techniques
- Perform a comprehensive perioperative TEE examination
- Operate and troubleshoot TEE equipment
- Utilize TEE as a monitoring modality during high-risk non-cardiac surgery- Apply the latest techniques of diastolic function assessment, strain rate imaging and
three dimensional echocardiography to assess complex structural relationships
