• Foundations of regional anaesthesia
• know the nerve, see the nerve, see the needle, do the block.
• Practice needling technique including some challenges to test your skills!
• Blocks covered in the module with practical sessions.
  o Fascia Iliac compartment blocks for hip fractures–suprainguinal and
  infrainguinal.
  o Femoral nerve.
  o Popliteal.
  o Chest wall blocks.
  § Serratus Anterior Plane.
  § Erector Spinae Plane.
• Overview of upper limb regional anaesthesiae options

POCUS of the Joints:

• Identify joint eQusion in the ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, and elbow using POCUS.
• Perform ultrasound-guided joint aspiration and infiltration.
• Utilize POCUS for evaluating shoulder dislocations.

POCUS of the Tendons and Muscles:

• Diagnose ruptures of the Achilles tendon, patellar tendon, quadriceps tendon,
  and biceps tendon.
• Identify rupture of the medial head of M. gastrocnemius (Tennis Leg).

POCUS of the Soft Tissue:

• DiQerentiate soft tissue swelling using POCUS.
• Perform ultrasound-guided foreign body removal.
• Conduct a tibialis posterior nerve block for foreign body removal from the sole of
  the foot.

• getting familiar with basic cardiac views and describing the relevant anatomy of
• every view: subcostal, parasternal long and short axis, apical four, five and two
  chamber view
• name diQerent regions of the left ventricular muscle and describe diQerent basic
  ways to assess the contractility
• assess left ventricular contractility in diQerent views by eyeballing
• compare and measure chamber size in A4C view
• assess the size of the right ventricle and motion of the septum in diQerent views
• IVC measurement pitfalls and interpretation
• pericardial eQusion and tamponade

• Assess left ventricular systolic function using multiple echocardiographic views, including visual estimation, MAPSE, EPSS, and quantitative methods such as Teichholz and Simpson.
• Evaluate the mitral valve in B-mode and with colour Doppler to identify severe mitral regurgitation.
• Assess right ventricular systolic function using chamber size, TAPSE, and septal motion, and distinguish features suggestive of chronic right ventricular strain.
• Measure tricuspid regurgitation jet velocity (TRV) and pulmonary acceleration time (PAT) in the assessment of suspected pulmonary embolism.
• Measure LVOT VTI to calculate cardiac output and assess haemodynamic changes during a passive leg raise test.
• Learn the principles and technique of echocardiography-guided pericardiocentesis.
