Echo & Ultrasound in Shock

Lectures

This webinar will cover the basics of point-of-care focused echocardiography

A series of lectures covering BSE Level 1 and more advanced echo - a truly incredible resource by Dr Richard Fisher!

An excellent series from the Nepean ICU team (Sydney) - arguably the best advanced critical care echo resource out there! Particularly useful for any BSE Level 2/ACCE candidates.
