Webinars

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:

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.

Stephanie Doniger, MD presents "The Pediatric RUSH Protocol." She reviews the different types of shock, discusses the use of ultrasound for evaluating shock, describes how to incorporate ultrasound into management and clinical integration, reviews cases, and focuses on the pediatric "RUSH" exam.

Listen to your colleagues discuss the trends in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) and learn how the expanded use of POCUS supports both procedural and diagnostic applications.

Phil Booth, RN, MSN, MICN, CEN is an Emergency Room nurse with 40 years of experience. He will present this webinar on Ultrasound-guided Peripheral IV Insertion. He will describe the basic physics of ultrasonography; interpret a dynamic ultrasound image of a human arm and identify arteries, veins, nerves, subcutaneous tissue, fascia and bone; and insert an IV catheter into a “phantom” arm successfully using ultrasound.

Dr. Sachita Shah, Associate Professor, Division of Emergency Medicine, Department of Medicine, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle WA will discuss the use of a novel cardiopulmonary ultrasound protocol for use in patients presenting with undifferentiated dyspnea in resource-limited settings. The webinar will provide information on prevalent causes of dyspnea with comparison of low/middle and high income countries, and how ultrasound can be used to improve diagnostic capacity at the bedside.
