Demographic shifts & technical developments in therapeutic interventions and imaging are contributing to a significant expansion of the use of POCUS and TEE. In this two-day virtual symposium, our international multi-disciplinary faculty will illustrate the application of POCUS & TEE to address critical decisions in patient management across a wide range of acute care settings.

Upon completion of this program, participants should be able to:

• Describe the expanding scope of perioperative echo, including the range of modalities and new areas of application

• Illustrate the application of TEE and POCUS to address critical point-of-care decisions in a variety of acute-care situations & settings

• Review recent updates on the current guidelines related to the application of perioperative echocardiography in different clinical settings

• Critically discuss factors limiting translation of echocardiography into improved patient outcomes, and outline strategies for addressing these challenges
