Can’t believe we’re actually still talking about and debating ultrasound use for central lines, but we went there.  Last episode, we talked about some of the controversy, and why we have to do it.  We got a little push back, summed up best by our friend Dr. Neck, who gives a pretty solid rebuttal. Now, it’s time to talk about how exactly.  We’ve got Jacob Avila, @ultrasoundmd on again to provide some excellent tips and walk us through it.  Let’s do this!

  Thanks to Scott Weingart we recently discovered a really cool website at gastricultrasound.org.  So, naturally we wanted to interview the creators of the website, figure out if this is something useful to us…….and then make fools of ourselves by eating and drinking lots of random things and looking at it on ultrasound. Luckily for you……we recorded it. Enjoy!

And you thought the Summer of R Heart Failure was over……wrong!  Well, actually it is over, but you all can’t seem to get enough.  We’ve got a lot of feedback about how much people enjoyed all the R heart talk, so we’ve got a little more for you. We were in Havanna, Cuba recently with the DevelopingEM crew and we were lucky enough to catch up with James Daley who’s been doing some pretty sweet research on TAPSE.  As luck would have it, we were also able to corral some other super echo experts, Brian Galovic, Patrick Ockerse, and Jimmy Fair to discuss just how useful TAPSE is and how not to screw it up.

Merry Thanksgiving! What are you thankful for this year?  Personally, we’re thankful that we got to make total idiots of ourselves with some of our best friends during Sonowars at SMACC last year.  We’re even MORE thankful that someone captured it on video so we could share with you. Mechanical bulls, body paint, balloon testicles……it’s not all idiocracy, though.  The main goal of Sonowars is always to educate……but we definitely have some fun along the way.  Enjoy!
