The day will be a mixture of interactive lectures, critical appraisal of echo images and hands-on scanning time. Delegates should be comfortable with very 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Topics Covered:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A refresher of basic 2D right-sided echo views and how to optimise them<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An introduction to Doppler ultrasonography &#8211; how, when and why it is used<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to perform the left-sided echocardiographic views<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get to grips with the measurements needed to make diagnoses and those we can use to assess cardiac function in more detail<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spotting pathological changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Put it into practice \u2013 get stuck in!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Equipment and Facilities:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>We ask that the majority of delegates bring a dog to scan to allow enough hands on practice, so please let us know if you cannot bring a patient <em>before <\/em>booking. It is important that the dogs can be clipped as required for an echocardiographic examination.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kennelling accommodation for the dogs will be available to use if required. Various ultrasound machines will be available to use on the day, however, if you want to bring your own for practice you are welcome to do so, just let us know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The day will be informal and relaxed with maximum time for hands-on learning. Arrive for tea and coffee from 8.30am, ready to begin the lectures at 9am. We will aim to finish by 5.30pm. Places are limited to a maximum of 8 delegates so book your place early to avoid disappointment. Course notes will be provided<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Location:<\/strong><br>Vet Solutions (formerly IMV Imaging) Unit 2, Block 3<br>City North Business Campus<br>Gormanston, Co.
