Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Course

Description

The course focuses on emergency and acute cases commonly encountered in A&E and Primary Care settings.
By the end of our Musculoskeletal Ultrasound course you will be able:

• Use high frequency probes for joint and soft tissues assessment.
• Identify fractures in ultrasound, to judge the need for reduction and whether reduction is successfully achieved.
• Assess the shoulder for a shoulder dislocation and rapidly judge if it has been successfully reduced.
• Look with ultrasound for important tendon structures affected by common injury patterns.
• Identify fluid in joints and to use ultrasound to guide aspiration.
• Scan inflamed skin in order to identify the presence of cellulitis or an abscess or Necrotising fasciitis.
