 CEP Category I credit(s)\n\n*The Advanced Registration fee is honored 
 if payment is made/postmarked 21 days or more prior to the beginning d
 ate of the program\n\nA $100.00 late fee will apply if registering les

 than or equal to 7 days from course date.\n\nObjectives & Topics\n\nAt
  the completion of this program, the participant should be able to:\n1
 . Discuss the basic fundamentals of ultrasound physics/instrumentation
  and recognize image artifacts.\n2. Demonstrate the operation of the u
 ltrasound system controls and transducer selection.\n3. Recognize norm
 al/abnormal image characteristics of the abdomen, thorax (including lu
 ng and pneumothorax), upper and lower extremity venous system, and adu
 lt heart.\n4. Perform routine scan protocols for evaluation of the abd
 omen, venous system of the lower and upper extremities, thorax (includ
 ing lung & pneumothorax), and adult heart.\n5. Describe image orientat
 ion, transducer preparation, and scan protocols for performing use of 
 ultrasound guidance in the placement of peripheral and central venous 
 lines and arterial catheters.\n6. Demonstrate ultrasound applications 
 in the evaluation of the critically ill unstable patient.\n7. Explain 
 the use of ultrasound guidance for performing thoracentesis, pericardi
 ocentesis and endotracheal tube placement.\n8. Describe image orientat
 ion, transducer placement, and scan protocols for performing ultrasoun
 d for lung imaging and evaluation of pneumothorax.\n9. Increase knowle
 dge and confidence to perform and/or interpret critical care ultrasoun
 d examinations.\n10. Apply the information discussed in a clinical set
 ting, under supervised conditions until an acceptable level of profici
 ency and appropriate hospital credentialing has been achieved.\n\nCour
