Aims & Scope of Workshop:
Objective of the Workshop
The “ASPA paediatric POCUS workshop” is designed to introduce the participants to basic focused cardiac, pulmonary, gastric, vascular ultrasound. It aims to teach participants to correctly acquire, interpret, and clinically integrate normal and abnormal ultrasound images in children to aid diagnosis and management of acute problems in everyday clinical practice in the operating theatre and intensive care
unit. At this workshop, ultrasound skills will be taught using healthy paediatric volunteers by dedicated paediatric trained experts from Asia.
We welcome any physician with an interest to improve their ultrasound skills to the “ASPA paediatric POCUS workshop”. We are
certain that you will find the experience enlightening and worthwhile.
