ECHO Plus – Intermediate Small Animal Echocardiography
Course Overview: This full day course is for veterinary surgeons comfortable with basic echocardiography and who want to refresh basics and learn more. The day will be a mixture of interactive lectures, critical appraisal of echo images and hands-on scanning time. Delegates should be comfortable with basic right sided views, however we will cover a brief refresher and spend some time perfecting these images, then learn to use colour and spectral doppler as well as working on left sided views.
Topics Covered:
- A refresher of basic 2D right-sided echo views and how to optimise them
- An introduction to Doppler ultrasonography – how, when and why it used
- How to perform the left-sided echocardiographic views
- Make the most of your machine – get to grips with the measurements needed to make diagnoses and those we can use to assess cardiac function in more detail
- Spotting pathological changes
- Put it into practice – get stuck in!
Available Dates: 29th November 2024
