Module Outline

Objectives

On completion of this online ultrasound program, learners will be able to:

Use ultrasound system controls to optimise imaging for accurate diagnosis
Develop proficiency in probe manipulation to efficiently acquire diagnostic images
Describe the limitations and clinical integration of the eFAST ultrasound examination
Apply the eFAST protocol to conduct a systematic ultrasound assessment of a trauma patient

PLUS - included in this module is our Getting Started in Ultrasound program

This online module is perfect for getting started. Through a combination of focused video explanations and guided interactive activities you will be able to:

Navigate your way around your system and its primary functions
Set up for an ultrasound exam
Choose the appropriate imaging mode - B-mode, M-mode, colour Doppler, power Doppler, spectral Doppler
Optimise your image
Make accurate measurements
Archive your images

You’ll also learn the fundamental and often neglected building blocks of successful imaging:

How you can find the right window to get the best view of the anatomy
What actions you can take to purposefully get the best image that you can
How to scan safely
How to look after your machine
