About World Congress on UltraSound in Emergency and Critical Care Medicine
Ultrasound is regarded as a visual stethoscope, just like turning a blind people into one with brilliant vision. In the past, we could only imagine the internal organs by various physical examinations such as palpation, percussion and auscultation. With the utilization of Ultrasound, we can now visualize the internal organs directly and make the correct diagnosis right at the bedside, which were impossible in the past. For example, in the management of Pulseless Electrical Activity during resuscitation, we can use Ultrasound to visualize the pneumothorax, acute right heart strain with possible thrombi in right heart, a hard-working heart with hyperdynamic circulation and empty ventricles, or even a small failing heart that is compressed by a thick layer of pericardial fluid. Without Ultrasound, we are very likely to lose these patients as these signs are all very subtle by physical examination, and every second counts during resuscitation.
In 2013 World Congress we are pleased to organize 10 pre-conference Ultrasound courses run by a worldwide cuttingedge Faculty, covering different specialties from paediatric to adult, ABCDE in resuscitation to trauma scenarios, nursing colleagues to specialized Ultrasound trainers. In the conference, apart from the plenary lectures by our most renowned speakers from different parts of the world, we will also run different organ-based and problembased workshops to share our experience and knowledge.
