Module Learning Objectives

Echo, IVC, & Aorta

1. Understand the surface landmarks for appropriate transducer positioning to perform sonographic examinations of the thoracic and abdominal aorta.
2. Demonstrate the ability to identify and visualize landmarks for the aorta in the transverse and longitudinalscanning planes.
3. Understand the surface landmarks for appropriate transducer positioning to perform sonographic examinations of the inferior vena cava (IVC).
4. Understand how to integrate sonographic assessment of the IVC into patient assessment and care.
5. Understand the sonographic findings and pitfalls for identifying pathology including aortic aneurysm.
6. Understand the utility of motion modality (M-mode) and demonstrate its use.
7. Demonstrate the surface landmarks and transducer position necessary to perform an echocardiogram in the emergency department.
8. Acquire and interpret sonographic images of heart (subcostal, parasternal long, parasternal short and apical windows).
9. Identify pathologic conditions such as pericardial effusion, gross wall motion abnormalities and cardiac tamponade.

eFAST

1. Understand the surface landmarks for appropriate transducer positioning to perform the Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (eFAST) examination.
2. Understand the sonographic landmarks and anatomical relationships of the heart, liver, spleen and bladder as they relate to the FAST examination.
3. Demonstrate the ability to identify and visualize the areas of potential intra-abdominal and thoracic spaces for free fluid to collect or pneumothorax.
4. Understand the sonographic findings and pitfalls for identifying life-threatening trauma conditions such as cardiac tamponade, hemo/pneumothorax and intra-abdominal hemorrhage.
