About this course

Dates: June 5-6, 2025 | Credits: 24* | Location: CHEST HQ in Glenview, IL

Advanced critical care echocardiography (ACCE) is extremely useful in guiding the hemodynamic management of cardiopulmonary failure. The interactive learning experiences in this advanced-level course will help you perform and interpret a full ACCE exam. Our expert faculty members—all certified by the National Board of Echocardiography—will guide you through intensive training on image acquisition, image interpretation, and the cognitive basis of ACCE.

Explore CHEST’s five-part simulation course series on critical care image interpretation and application:

1. Ultrasonography: Essentials in Critical Care
2. Critical Care Ultrasound: Integration Into Clinical Practice 
3. Advanced Critical Care Echocardiography Image Acquisition and Interpretation 
4. Critical Care Echocardiography Exam (CCEeXAM) Virtual Board Review
5. Critical Care Transesophageal Echocardiography immediately follows this course at CHEST HQ on June 7, 2025. It is recommended to attend both courses back-to-back.

What you'll learn

How to perform the full image set of the ACCE transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) examination

Hands-on skills for interpreting the full ACCE TTE examination and integrating the findings into your clinical context

Approaches to measuring stroke volume, indices of preload sensitivity, left-sided filling pressures, intracardiac pressures, right- and left-sided heart function, and valvular function

Who should attend

Critical Care Medicine, Anesthesiology, Cardiology, Hospital Medicine

Physicians, Advanced Practice Providers, Fellows
