Learning Objectives / Objectifs d'apprentissage:

At the end of this session participants will be able to / Au terme de cette conférence, vous serez:

describe causes of cardiogenic shock and how echocardiography can be used to
identify the mechanism;
list the key echocardiographic images needed in the evaluation of the hypoxic critically ill patient;.
explain the indications for TEE in the setting of a cardiac arrest; and
describe how ultrasound imaging can change the management in patients with sepsis.

Workshop Description: The role of echocardiography in critically ill patients is expanding, both in multidisciplinary
accessibility and applications. This workshop will include 4 case-based presentations that will
explore the role of echocardiography the management of critically ill patients. Discussion will
focus on the echocardiographic diagnosis of cardiogenic shock, the imaging approach to
evaluation of unexplained hypoxia, the role of TEE post cardiac arrest and how ultrasound can
help guide management in the septic patient. Talks will focus on a case-based approach, and
will be 8 minutes long and will engage the audience with questions and include time for
discussion. Speakers will include both critical care physicians and echocardiographers from
across Canada. At the end there will be an additional 5 minutes to cover discussion and any
