Webinars

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.

In this webinar, Jeffrey Gonzales, MD, MA discusses the uses of ultrasound for neuraxial analgesia and anesthesia. Specifically, he discusses the utility of ultrasound for epidural and subarachnoid (SAB) access, reviews the potential advantages of utilizing ultrasound for epidural/SAB access, demonstrates optimal visualization of posterior complex in both SAX and LAX views of lumbar spine, and demonstrates scanning and identification techniques with ultrasound for epidural/SAB access.

More specific details will be presented in regards to surgical indications, risks/benefits, and how to incorporate this into everyday practice. Webinar Goals and Objectives: 1.

Accurate assessment of volume status is a perpetual challenge in medicine. The detection of right-sided venous congestion can be particularly difficult with traditional clinical and POCUS techniques; but often has significant pathologic consequences. Join Dr. Katie Wiskar to learn how to perform a VExUS exam – Venous Excess UltraSound – and see examples of how to incorporate this technique into your clinical practice.

Join Dr. Richard Teames in a lively discussion of techniques and indications for performing ultrasound guided adductor canal and iPACK blocks for knee surgery. In this webinar, Dr. Teames will share best practices while performing live scans.
