Robert Arntfield, MD is an Assistant Professor, Director of Critical Care Ultrasound / Division of Critical Care & Division of Emergency Medicine, Department of Medicine, Western University London, Ontario, Canada. Dr. Arntfield presents a webinar focusing on transesophageal echocardiography. He compares TTE and TEE, reviews the questions that can be answered by using TEE, discusses logistical aspects of getting started using TEE, describes safety and training methods, outlines a starting point for a TEE protocol, and reviews case examples.

Dr. Robert Arntfield is an Assistant Professor, Director of Critical Care Ultrasound / Division of Critical Care & Division of Emergency Medicine, Department of Medicine, Western University London, Ontario, Canada. Dr. Arntfield presents Point-of-Care Echocardiography – Part 1. Upon viewing this webinar in its entirety, viewers will begin developing a cognitive framework for acquiring, interpreting and integrating images related to the assessment of: gross left ventricular systolic function, gross right ventricular size and function, pericardial effusion, and IVC and volume status.

Dr. Seth Koenig has worked to bring point-of-care ultrasound to the critical care field for more than a decade. In this live webinar, you’re invited to discuss with Dr. Koenig his real case examples using point-of-care echocardiography and how you can integrate cardiac exams into your standard care.

Robert Arntfield, MD presents Doppler principles and how they relate to point-of-care echocardiography. This webinar introduces viewers to techniques and terms that can be applied to more advanced concepts in echocardiography. Dr. Arntfield discusses some of the types of Doppler, reviews best probe positioning when utilizing Doppler, and describes how to optimize color Doppler.

Dr. Robert Arntfield is an Assistant Professor, Director of Critical Care Ultrasound / Division of Critical Care & Division of Emergency Medicine, Department of Medicine, Western University London, Ontario, Canada. Dr. Arntfield presents part 4 of the point-of-care echocardiography webinar series. In this webinar, Dr. Arntfield reviews stroke volume determination in the point-of-care environment. He discusses advanced concepts such as quantitative spectral Doppler techniques, hemodynamic understanding of echocardiography, and the overall assessment of left ventricular function.

Diagnostic imaging for appendicitis is evolving and may include a point-of-care ultrasound assessment. This is especially important for the sensitive pediatric population. Pediatric ultrasound imaging requires smaller transducer footprints and adjustable frequencies to adapt to various depths and patient sizes. This live webinar will share expert techniques for performing a bedside pediatric ultrasound exam through a presentation of actual cases. After reviewing relevant literature, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss pediatric appendicitis as it pertains to POCUS with Dr. Levine.

Dr. Seif is an Assistant Professor, Department of Emergency Medicine, LAC+USC Medical Center; Emergency Physician, Mission Hospital Laguna Beach, Los Angeles, California This webinar by Dr. Seif will explore how to apply and integrate multiple ultrasound examinations to assess a patient with undifferentiated shock, dyspnea, or cardiac arrest. Participants are expected to be familiar with the eFAST examination, limited point-of-care echocardiography, and the components of the RUSH examination.
