Echo In Cardiac Mechanical Support

Jeffrey Scott, DO, MBA, FASE, one of the guest editors of this newsletter, recently told me about “Echo In Cardiac Mechanical Support,” an online course which he helped create. It is a new online course from the American Society of Echocardiography. ASE added this video to its educational site that covers echocardiography and critical care ultrasound for mechanical support, including VA and VV ECMO, intra-aortic balloon pumps, and left ventricular assist devices. Developed by an international team of intensivists specializing in cardiothoracic ICU care, the course costs $85.00 and offers about 4 hours of CME credit.
