FoCUS: Quantification and AI in assessing critically unwell patients

Elevate your Emergency Medicine Focused Cardiac Ultrasound (FoCUS) by mastering the tools, namely quantification and Artificial Intelligence (AI) that matter most in assessing critically unwell patients.  

This intensive, hands-on course is built to move you beyond subjective and qualitative cardiac assessments. You will learn to generate hard, reproducible data at the bedside, using powerful quantitative metrics to make objective haemodynamic decisions.  

We will focus on how cutting-edge AI can automate measurements and accelerate your workflow, giving you the confidence to manage critically unwell patients with greater speed and precision.

Learning objectives:

• To perform and interpret key quantitative measurements (e.g. VTI, EF, TAPSE, TRVMax) to rapidly and objectively assess cardiac function in critically unwell patients 

• To integrate AI powered tools to automate calculations, accelerate workflow, and enhance the accuracy of FoCUS 

• To apply quantitative data and AI-driven insights to rapidly differentiate shock states and guide immediate haemodynamic management 

• To develop the confidence to apply a systematic FoCUS protocol that incorporates advanced quantification in time-critical emergency scenarios
