Gastric
Advanced Clinical Ultrasound Training
Gastric Ultrasound
Enhance your ability to perform gastric ultrasound confidently and improve patient safety during procedures with this comprehensive training on how to use ultrasound to assess gastric fullness and aspiration risk. Key indications for gastric ultrasound, gastric anatomy, and essential sonographic landmarks are reviewed. Learners will master preparation techniques, ultrasound scanning methods, and calculation of cross-sectional area (CSA) to estimate gastric content volume. Explore the sonographic appearance of the gastric antrum following ingestion of solids and liquids, incorporating the Perlas antral grading system. Seven interactive simulation cases on real patient anatomy build visuospatial skills and cognitive task awareness necessary for successful gastric ultrasound performance. Imaging tips, common pitfalls, and clinical applications for aspiration risk assessment are also covered.
