Webinars

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. 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.

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.

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.
