About This Course
The Comprehensive POCUS Training Program is a practical, competency-based course designed to equip healthcare professionals with essential bedside ultrasound skills for faster and more accurate obstetric decision-making.
Modules covered include:
1. Ultrasound Physics & Knobology: Learning machine controls (depth, gain, focus) and probe handling to get a clear image.
2. First-Trimester Confirmation: Checking inside the uterus to confirm an active pregnancy, measure the embryo for accurate due dates, and rule out ectopic pregnancy.
3. Fetal Cardiac Activity: Using ultrasound to quickly detect a fetal heartbeat and measure the fetal heart rate.
4.Fetal Number & Presentation: Determining if there are multiple babies and checking if the baby is head-down, breech, or sideways before delivery.
5. Placental Localization: Finding where the placenta is attached to check for dangerous conditions.
6. Amniotic Fluid Volume: Measuring the fluid levels around the baby.
7. Basic Fetal Biometry: Measuring the baby’s head and thigh bone to estimate gestational age and track growth in later stages of pregnancy.
