Ultrasound Podcast

Remember the funny talking French Canadians who brought you EGLS recently? Well, they’re back. They think we’ve been a bit narrow in our discussion of the IVC for fluid responsiveness.  They think we could get a little more sophisticated with our sound waves than looking at the IVC in isolation……and we think they’re right. Fair warning:  The first several minutes ...

Wow, that’s a packed headline.  Let’s break it down: Weingart on IVC: 1.     The one, the only, Scott Weingart from emcrit.org tells us why IVC ultrasound is useful and why you should never trust Mike Stone (hint….it has to do with kittens). #FOAMED Innovation Scholarship 2.     We mentioned a couple of days ago that we were creating a ...

 If you were at the castle last year for Castlefest you may or may not have recovered from this breathtaking debate. First off, who knew Weingart was a biter?!?!  I certainly never would have guessed Mike Stone was that accurate with throwing stars! Anyway, it was epic.  The most impressive thing, though, was the way they wielded the literature and ...

Ok, so you noticed we ended RUSH a bit early on part 1. We only made it through the H in HIMAP, but that was by design.  You get SOOO much information from the heart part of the RUSH that is deserves its own podcast. Well, here’s your IMAP. The rest of the great RUSH talk that Dr. Weingart gave ...

 Don’t worry, the Summer of the Resuscitationist is not over. RUSH part 2 with Weingart will be released next week and there’s more fluid responsiveness and other critical care ultrasound coming up.  This is just a quick break.  These podcasts have been so INTENSE that we know you need a break.  Consider this a “palette cleanser”.  This will allow you ...

Castlefest 2014 and RUSH Podcast with Weingart.  Get your info and learning here! Well, you couldn’t very well have a summer of the resuscitationist without including the master resuscitationist who actually coined the term resuscitationist (YES, we did it…..set the record for the most times using the word resuscitationist in a single sentence).  So here he is, Scott Weingart, teaching ...

Everyone knows what the RUSH protocol is. What, you just emerged from your Soviet-era bunker and don’t know?  Well, that’s fine.  We’ll be having Scott Weingart himself teaching it to you on the podcast in a couple weeks. For everyone else, though, like I said, you know the RUSH protocol.  It’s an incredible tool for assessing the undifferentiated hypotensive patient. ...

Yes, you probably guessed it from the opening sentence, this talk is by Cliff Reid……and off the charts. EFAST is probably a pretty standard scan that most of you listening to this already perform.  However, even if you’ve heard a thousand EFAST talks it’s worth listening to this one by Cliff Reid for comments like “It’s time to earn your ...

You heard us right, now you can get the Introduction to Bedside Ultrasound and take advantage of all its glorious interactivity on any computer or device with a web browser. It’s on www.inkling.com, and you can get the whole thing or just chapters.  When we heard about the platform, inkling, we knew we had to convert the book, but it’s taken ...

It’s that time again.  Time for some US-guided nerve blocks mainlined.  We know, three episodes in a row of nerve blocks, but here’s the thing……this stuff is awesome!  We’re not sure if you’re trying this or not, but once you do, we swear, you’ll love it.  You’ll love it because your patients will love it.  It turns out that treating ...

Yeah, we know, it’s been a couple months……maybe more, since we promised to show you exactly how to do these brachial plexus blocks for distal forearm fractures.   If you don’t remember us promising you that, then go back and watch the podcast on ultrasound guided radius fracture reduction.  And yes, obviously this is useful for WAY more than just distal ...

 So, you probably know what nerve blocks are and you’re excited about learning how to better take care of your patients with them.  You probably don’t know what The Ultrasound Leadership Academy (ULA) is, though, because no one does.  It’s brand spankin’ new and you’ll have to listen in to find out more.  If you like what you hear and ...

We know you all get really tired of “evidence” and “science”, so here is our unsolicited opinion about the future of medical education. Actually, there is some evidence regarding these ideas and adult learners, but we’re really going to focus more on “how to”.  We want to try to lead the way and show you how to do this as ...

Here’s the thing, we think we can all do better when it comes to medical education.  We’ve sat through too many bad powerpoint presentations and watched too many professors bore audiences to sleep while teaching topics that could actually be life saving and super important!  And why exactly is the vast majority of our medical education structured around the classroom ...

Yes, it’s all true. We’ve been busy, and here’s what’s going on: First off, we had a request not that long ago for a quick tutorial on thoracentesis, so here it is.  We aim to please! Also, we’re heading north….way north in a few months and we wanted to invite you along if you’re interested.  It’ll be fun. Lastly, if you speak ...
