Ideal combination of theory and hands-on experience
As an integral part of modern treatment strategies, perioperative echocardiography (PFE) improves the quality of care for patients – and thus significantly increases their safety. At the DHZB Academy, you will learn how to perform the imaging procedure in the best possible way at one of the best heart centres in the world. The advanced and continuing education program covers all examination modalities for cardiac surgery and catheter-based interventions.
Our new modular course in perioperative echocardiography is aimed at all those interested in this imaging procedure and covers all examination modalities for cardiac surgery and catheter-based interventions.
We have been running courses in transoesophageal echocardiography with great success since 1999. The importance, complexity and specialisation of perioperative echocardiography has steadily increased.
In terms of content, the modules cover the entire updated spectrum including 3D echocardiography, quantitative echocardiography, speckle tracking and echocardiography during catheter-based interventions. The use of transthoracic echocardiography during interventional procedures in local anaesthesia, for patients in the recovery room and in the intensive care unit has increased significantly in importance. We offer the new modules for perioperative focussed transthoracic echocardiography on this subject. Our modules comply with the new DGAI guidelines and are certified by the DGAI and the Berlin Medical Association.
The 3-day program starts on Thursday and ends on Saturday. Find out more about the specific content of the program here.
The training program takes place in the Weißer Saal of the Campus Virchow-Klinikum.
