The Resuscitative TEE Workshop

An innovative, practical and multidisciplinary course aimed to provide clinicians with the fundamental knowledge and skills, to perform focused transesophageal echocardiography (TEE/TOE) in critically-ill patients in any acute care setting.


 
One of the best courses I’ve ever attended. Amazing organization, venue and participants to faculty & simulator ratio. Outstanding faculty with a game changing vision on critical care ultrasound.

The first course dedicated to the practice of resuscitative TEE/TOE

DESPITE GROWING INTEREST AMONG EMERGENCY PHYSICIANS AND INTENSIVISTS, AN IMPORTANT BARRIER TO ADOPTION IS ACCESS TO TRAINING THAT IS TAILORED TO THE PRACTICE OF RESUSCITATIVE TEE.

The team of clinicians behind The Resuscitative TEE Project, a multidisciplinary group of Faculty who have pioneered the development of this application and accumulated vast teaching experience, have developed the first state-of-the-art practical course on resuscitative TEE.

Through this workshop, we provide emergency physicians and intensivists, with a unique opportunity to gain basic training in this emerging modality.

THE FORMAT

the course consists of an asynchronous learning component for which pre-workshop materials are provided, and one day live workshop. Selected material for self-study are provided in advance. During the one-day "deep dive" workshop, participants receive didactics and hands-on training using HeartWorks high-fidelity simulators.

EXPERT GUIDED HANDS-ON TRAINING

Goal-directed simulation using HeartWorks Eve simulators. Teaching TEE hundreds of hours, we learned that a key aspect for a highly efficient training experience, is to spend several hours of structured, guided practice on the high-fidelity simulator. We have partnered with Intelligent Ultrasound to ensure that participants are not just getting "a taste" of TEE, but actually becoming proficient at it.

TEE-ORIENTED CARDIAC ANATOMY

We have developed cutting-edge educational tools to teach key tee-oriented cardiac anatomy concepts. Using a multi modal approach that involves slides, HeartWorks software and 3D printed heart models, participants are able to understand difficult concepts related to cardiac anatomy and spatial orientation.

PROBE INSERTION & SAFETY

No other course or training program offers an opportunity to learn and practice the different techniques for safe and efficient probe insertion. The course includes one-on-one guided practice of TEE probe insertion technique using a novel trainer developed for this purpose by Syndaver Labs and The Resuscitative TEE Project.

Assessment.jpg

COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT

A hands-on examination to allow participants demonstrate skill acquisition and competency in focused TEE examination takes place AT THE END OF THE WORKSHOP. THIS IS A 1:1 evaluation by one of the faculty and will test the both motor and cognitive competency participants. Participants are provided with a competency checklist with log of 10 examinations if successfully performed.

MAKING IT HAPPEN: IMPLEMENTATION Q&A

Each course ends with a Q&A session where an expert faculty panel discusses practical aspects of resuscitative TEE including: pearls and pitfalls, program implementation, training, credentialing, equipment purchases and maintenance.

Educational Objectives

SPECIFIC GOALS: through the review of pre-workshop resources and the didactics held during the one-day workshop, we aim to provide participants with the following skills:

MOTOR SKILLS:

  • Probe insertion

  • Image acquisition

COGNITIVE SKILLS

  • Understand principles of TEE operation: Transducer controls and understanding of different planes of movement necessary to generate images: anteflexion, retroflexion, rotation.

  • Relevant cardiac anatomy

  • Rationale and evidence for a focused TEE protocol

  • Indications / applications for each view

  • Image interpretation:

    • Identification of normal anatomy in all four basic views

    • Correlation with anatomy in TTE views

    • Identification of basic pathological conditions

At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to: acquire the focused TEE views and correctly identify cardiac anatomy and identify basic pathological conditions.

EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS:

A set of pre-workshop web-based and interactive materials will be made available for self-study of participants prior to their attendance to the workshop.  Brief (15-20 min) case-based lectures will be presented during the workshop.

COURSE VENUEs

do you hate those courses in a classroom or the basement of the hospital? we hate them too. The resuscitative tee workshop is held in hand picked, state-of-the-art interactive learning facilities.

 

SIMULATION EQUIPMENT

Teaching TEE hundreds of hours, we learnt that a key aspect for a highly efficient training experience, is to spend several hours of structured, guided practice on the high-fidelity simulator. We have partnered with HeartWorks to ensure participants are not just getting "a taste" of TEE, but actually becoming proficient at it. 

 

not just a "taste" of TEE...

multiple High fidelity TEE simulator systems are provided by HeartWorks.

FACULTY

A group of multidisciplinary faculty from Emergency Medicine, Anesthesiology, CARDIOLOGY, CARDIAC, PULMONARY AND SURGICAL/TRAUMA CRITICAL CARE, who have significant clinical practice and teaching experience with this application. each workshop has 8-10 faculty for 24 participants. our faculty include many of the world leaders of this emerging modality who are joined by hand-picked local experts with significant experience in the use of tee/toe in acute care and perioperative environments.


The faculty make the course - They were outstanding, and though from different specialties, they are medical educators at heart. All faculty did a really good job explaining difficult concepts in a simple fashion...
