Pulmonary Ultrasound Training - SonoSim

Pulmonary Clinical Ultrasound Training

Pulmonary ultrasonography is a somewhat new, but extremely useful tool in the care of the critically ill patient. It can be used to detect and assess a variety of conditions. Possibly everything one would do with auscultation and plain chest radiography may eventually be replaced with lung sonography. The Pulmonary Clinical Ultrasound Module provides a brief review of pulmonary anatomy and physiology, and details corresponding sonographic anatomy. Sonographic scanning technique and imaging pearls and pitfalls are discussed, as well as relevant sonographic artifacts, such as lung sliding, A-Line, and B-Line. How to evaluate and diagnose pulmonary conditions with ultrasound, including pneumothorax, pleural effusion, alveolar interstitial syndrome, and lung consolidation, is also presented.

How it Works

Each SonoSim module contains:

  • A Didactic, Cloud-Based, Multimedia Course
  • Real-Time Knowledge Checks & a Mastery Test
  • A Series of Hands-On, Real Patient Scanning Cases Accessed with the SonoSimulator® Ultrasound Probe

The SonoSimulator Ultrasound Probe is a one-time purchase and is your access key to the SonoSim modules you license annually. License to each module is purchased in the first year, and maintained with an annual membership fee. Keep scanning and maintain all your member benefits, including annual access to all your modules, with your low annual membership fee of $295 (complimentary in your first year).

Course Highlights

SonoSim cloud-based, multimedia, didactic courses are created by leading ultrasound experts, and are internet accessible immediately after purchase, on any device. There are knowledge checks with real-time feedback throughout each course, as well as a Mastery Test that is automatically graded.

The course in this module covers topics including:

  • Lung Sonography Signs & Artifacts
  • Blue Protocol
  • Lung Anatomy & Physiology
  • Sonographic Pulmonary Anatomy
  • Sonographic Artifacts such as Lung Sliding, A-Line & B-Line
  • Sonographic Technique for Evaluating the Pulmonary System
  • Doppler Imaging
  • Pneumothorax Evaluation including “Rule-in” & “Rule-Out”
  • Case Studies including Pneumothorax, Pleural Effusion, Alveolar Interstitial Syndrome, & Lung Consolidation
  • Tips & Pitfalls for Evaluating the Lungs with Ultrasound

SonoSimulator Scanning Cases

The SonoSimulator® helps develop and maintain the critical visuomotor and visuospatial skills that are central to image acquisition and interpretation with real patient imagery, expert tutorials on-demand, and real-time feedback on success.

The 10 real patient scanning cases in this module include and cover:

  • Patient Types: Male & Female, 7 Adult & 3 Pediatric
  • Relevant Findings/Pathology: Normal Adult & Pediatric Patients (Male & Female); Focal Alveolar Consolidation Syndrome Patients; Generalized Alveolar Consolidation Syndrome Patients; Pneumothorax Patient; Pleural Effusion Cases; Pneumonia Patients; Congestive Heart Failure Patients
  • Transducer Types: Linear, Curvilinear
