Webinars

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. 

Dr. Pierre Kory is Chief, Critical Care Service at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, and Faculty at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison WI. This webinar will review of the need for prompt diagnosis of lower extremity thromboembolic disease in the Acute Care environment (incidence/prevalence). Detailed explanation of the proximal femoral, venous anatomy; popliteal vein and the technique for performing the ultrasound examination will be explored. Additionally, Dr.

Col. Richard Scheuring, DO, MS, RMSK, FAsMA gives several examples of the extraordinary utilization of point-of-care ultrasound in novel environments. He reviews examples of injuries and medical applications in combat zones, space, and astronaut training. This webinar emphasizes the portability and durability of Sonosite point-of-care ultrasound systems; this is the only imaging device that can practically be used in space flight.

Dr. Arun Nagdev will provide a comprehensive overview of how ultrasound guidance may be implemented into emergency medicine to increase procedural success and reduce error. From common procedures such as vascular access to those performed less frequently, ultrasound-guidance allows the clinician the ability to navigate anatomical variance to ensure efficient and optimal patient care.

Webinar Goals and Objectives:

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 will explore case examples to highlight the value of both basic visual assessments and more sophisticated Doppler techniques when performing echocardiography to guide resuscitation. Upon the completion of the webinar, the participant will be able to: 1.

Learn how Sonosite PX improves workflow efficiency and adaptability, allowing clinicians to find controls more quickly with fewer touches.

Dr. Thomas Notheisen and Dr. Rudiger Eichholz presents "Structured eFAST Examination," which is utilized in the emergency room and the intensive care unit. Dr. Notheisen and Dr. Eicholz review the eight probe positions of this examination, which are based on the ATLS criteria, in order to diagnose and treat life threatening issues quickly.
