Vandy Gaffney II, MD, MS, Regional Anesthesiologist and Acute Pain Medicine Specialist presents Ultrasound-Guided Pectoralis I and II Blocks. In this webinar, Dr. Gaffney discusses indications and clinical usage for pectoralis I and II blocks, describes the anatomical and sonographic anatomy of the thorax, lateral chest wall, and axilla, illustrates the proper needle and local anesthetic placement for a successful pectoralis I and II block, and discusses clinical pearls for performing ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia.

Sarah Young, DVM presents Thoracic Imaging: Part 2. In this webinar for veterinary professionals, Dr. Young continues to discuss ultrasound imaging of the thoracic cavity and takes a look into a variety of ultrasound patterns that correlate with pathology.

Jason Bowman, M.D. discusses lung ultrasound and how it can help pre-hospital care providers take better care of their patients. Dr. Bowman reviews clinical indications for lung ultrasound in EMS, describes the benefits of ultrasound of the lung versus other modalities, and demonstrates a lung ultrasound using the Sonosite iViz.

Sarah Young, DVM, presents part 1 of "Thoracic Disease". In this webinar Dr. Young discusses thoracic scanning in felines and canines, reviews thoracic anatomy, outlines transducer selection and technique for how to obtain optimum ultrasound images, shows examples of a normal thorax, and discusses abnormalities. Additional abnormalities will be discussed in part 2.

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. Vrushali Ponde, pediatric anesthesiologist from Surya Children's Hospital, presents, "Role of Ultrasonography in Pediatric Regional Anesthesia. Dr. Ponde outlines the scope and practice of regional anesthesia in pediatrics, explains the advantages of using ultrasound in pediatric regional anesthesia, and discusses the challenges in anesthesia for the pediatric population.

Felipe Teran, MD, Emergency Physician from the Division of Emergency Ultrasound Center for Resuscitation Science Department at the University of Pennsylvania presents Part 2 of Implementing Transesophageal (TEE) in the Emergency Department. This webinar focuses on the nuts and bolts of training options for learning TEE ultrasound, discusses credentialing and institutional privileging for the practice of point-of-care TEE, and reviews main resources available for learning and training in TEE.

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.

Dustin Morrow, M.D. presents this webinar to review why credentialing and privileging physicians in ultrasound is important, discuss the different hospital-specific guidelines to determine standards by which physicians are qualified to perform certain ultrasound-guided procedures, and describe expectations for competency and the ongoing training and demonstration of that competency.
