Description
▶︎ Course Overview
The EACVI Echocardiography in the Intensive Care Unit course is designed to provide participants with an up-to-date and clinically focused review of the most recent developments in the use of echocardiography for critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
This comprehensive program emphasizes the practical application of echocardiography in critical care settings, supporting clinicians in decision-making during complex and high-risk clinical scenarios. The course combines case-based learning with structured teaching sessions, covering both transthoracic (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in intensive care practice.
