Webinars

Felipe Teran, MD, Emergency Physician from the Division of Emergency Ultrasound Center for Resuscitation Science Department at the University of Pennsylvania presents Part I of Implementing Transesophageal (TEE) in the Emergency Department. Dr. Teran identifies some of the most relevant publications about TEE that emergency department clinicians should be aware of, outlines a successful TEE program and its scope of practice, discusses the practical aspects of getting a TEE probe, and reviews cleaning and maintenance of a TEE probe.

Discover every small detail. Aided by a new family of transducers, Sonosite PX can help clinicians more accurately visualize sonographic landmarks. Learn how our most advanced image clarity ever empowers physicians to provide more accurate, real-time diagnoses for faster treatment and increase in-house treatment options. See for yourself in this live demo.

Audra Upton, MS, RDCS, RVT is the Director of Clinical Applications at Fujifilm Sonosite. Craig Chamberlain is the Directory of Experience Design at Fujifilm Sonosite. Together, they present this live demo of the new Sonosite PX ultrasound system.

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.

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.

Dr. David Tierney is the Associate Program Director, Internal Medicine Residency Program at Abbott Northwestern Hospital; Director of the Bedside Ultrasound Program (IMBUS); Director of the Bedside Procedure Team and Center for Clinical Simulation, Minneapolis, MN. Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) has expanded to multiple specialties and patient care areas within the hospital environment. Dr. Tierney will review a variety of scenarios and case studies where the availability of POCUS proved invaluable for procedural guidance and diagnostic evaluations.

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.
