This interactive workshop, designed to train beginners in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to manage patients with cardiac arrest and sepsis, focuses on acquisition of a single subcostal cardiac window and limited lung examination. The subcostal view alone can provide qualitative information on ventricular function, pericardial effusion, and intravascular volume status. In patients with cardiac arrest, the subcostal view is least likely to interfere with chest compressions. During cardiac arrest secondary to pulseless electrical activity (PEA), the subcostal view can be used to assess for the presence of organized cardiac muscle activity (pseudo-PEA) and underlying reversible causes of PEA. A subcostal window can also be used to rapidly recognize various hemodynamic patterns in patients with septic shock, facilitating critical decision-making. Content includes 100 subcostal pathology clips of patients with septic shock and in-hospital cardiac arrest to demonstrate quick pattern recognition and facilitate interpretation. High-fidelity simulation will be used to apply a protocolized approach to managing patients with cardiac arrest during pulse, rhythm, and echocardiography checks.
