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 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. Pradeep Suyawanshi, Professor and Head of the Department of Neonatology at BVU Medical College in Pune, India presents Point-of-Care Neonatal Ultrasound. In this webinar, Dr. Suryawanshi will review case studies that include management changes, discuss limitations of point-of-care ultrasound in neonatology, and describe the appropriate training for utilizing ultrasound in neonatology.

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.

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.
