Pre-Congress School
The day before the congress, in addition we invite you to participate in the Pre-Congress School. There will be two parallel topics:
(I) Musculoskeletal ultrasound. Topics: Shoulder, Ankle and Foot with Live DEMOs by Prof. Carlo Martinoli and Faculty
(II) Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). Topics: Liver and Non-Liver Applications and Case discussions by EFSUMB Faculty
You can get familiar with the preliminary program of the Pre-Congress School on the congress webpage: www.euroson2023.com/programme/
Please be aware that Pre-Congress School events are subject to the limited availability. Therefore, priority will be given to those participants who register earlier.
Registration to the Pre-Congress Schools is available here - www.euroson2023.com/register/

Newsletter Issue 5-2022
In 2006, the Education and Practical Standards Committee (EPSC) of the European Federation of Societies in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) developed a set of minimum training requirements recommending structured theoretical and practical training for gynecological, obstetric, gastroenterological, nephro-urological, breast, and vascular ultrasound (US). Three levels of training and expertise were proposed, and a curriculum for each of the three levels of training was developed for the many different fields of US application. The paper also acknowledged that a systematic recording of findings of any US examination in the patient records was mandatory. In the paper published in the current issue, the EFSUMB describes a concept of professionalism, which aims to make the medical US a reliable professional service based on common and uniform quality standards with respect to regular service structures and management when US examinations are performed.
The COVID-19 epidemic has been characterized by a high number of pneumonia cases leading to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV). This has emphasized the demand for an easy-to-use, repeatable, bedside chest imaging modality. Aside from these features, lung ultrasound (LUS) has already demonstrated higher accuracy than chest X-ray (CXR) in diagnosing several respiratory conditions, such as pneumonia, pleural effusion, and pneumothorax. Thus, LUS has been implemented worldwide in both critically and non-critically ill COVID-19 patients, becoming a pivotal tool in managing COVID-19 cases, both for diagnosis and prognosis, as supported by the wealth of literature published over the last year. Nevertheless, its role in the diagnosis, prognostication, monitoring, and follow-up of COVID-19 patients has yet to be officially acknowledged by any international scientific society. Multiple studies show a close correlation between LUS and CT scan findings, making them the two main imaging modalities being used during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, while the research has produced convincing evidence on LUS adoption and usefulness in the emergency department, data from intensive care units (ICU) and perioperative settings are still scarce, especially in relation to COVID-19 patients. |
