Description

Neonatal Echocardiography Symposium: Towards Better Management of Cardiovascular Wellbeing

The use of echocardiography (heart ultrasound) in the field of neonatology (the care of critically ill premature and term infants) has gained huge momentum over the last 5 to 10 years. There is an increased recognition of the benefits of this modality in improving how we manage critically ill infants by better identifying the underlying condition, devising an appropriate and targeted treatment plan, and monitoring response to treatment.

The introduction of neonatal echocardiography in the neonatal intensive care unit has resulted in improved outcome for this vulnerable population.

This symposium is designed to share new knowledge and expertise developed primarily by our research group in the Rotunda Hospital and the RCSI, along with our International collaborators, on the use of echocardiography to better manage critically unwell premature and term infants.

The course is divided into didactic and practical sessions. Candidates will be exposed to the latest and up-to-date information on the use of neonatal echocardiography provided by local and international leaders in the field. Management of specific and relevant conditions using this modality will be specifically discussed. The candidates will also engage in practical sessions designed to provide hands-on exposure to echocardiography using the latest and state-of-the-art ultrasound equipment and echocardiography simulator technology.

This course is for neonatologists, paediatricians, paediatric and neonatal trainees, paediatric cardiology trainees and ultra-sonographers looking to build their neonatal echocardiography skills. It has been designed to be maximally applicable to clinical practice.
