Wellcome in Rome !

It is a great pleasure for us to invite you to the 7th EACTAECHO Annual Course. In Rome, for the first time since the first EACTAECHO in 2002, we will have a course run by EACTA and EAE together.

The joint faculty will provide a course on perioperative transoesophageal echocardiography strongly oriented to prepare for the TOE Accreditation Exam.

The course will be didactic for those less experienced with TOE, but also new developments will be addressed.

The programme is divided into two parts: on the first two days all the topics on TOE will be covered, while on day three and four some more “anaesthesiological-ICU” aspects of echocardiography will be addressed. Extensive opportunity for hands-on TTE will be provided with participants divided in small groups.

With this course EACTA and EAE are pleased to be able to highlight their commitment to provide educational opportunities for those wishing to develop special competence in perioperative echocardiography by way of achieving a European accreditation in TEE - a joint program of EACTA and EAE.

This EACTAECHO course will provide you with:
  1. Fundamental and basic ultrasound theory.

  2. Comprehensive TEE.

  3. Practical skill in transthoracic echo - how to do an abbreviated TTE (FATE concept).

  4. Future expectations (Tissue Doppler, 4D, Speckle Tracking, small packages).
Looking forward to welcoming you this years EACTA-ECHO'08
