Why are you killing your patients with ultrasound? Ok, maybe you’re not killing them, but you might NOT be making things any better if you lolly-gag around with that ultrasound probe during the pulse check. How good are we at estimating 10 second pulse checks? How good are we at getting in and getting out with the probe during CPR pauses? Mallin and Mike Allison address this question and talk about Allison’s recent Resuscitation paper , it’s findings, and what it means for your next cardiac arrest patient. Wanna learn more about how not to kill you patients: Come to CaboFest Wanna learn how to joust with a linear probe: Come to Castlefest2018

Fine, let’s be honest here. We’ve talked about this before. A LOT! But that doesn’t make this talk any less important. In real practice most of your ultrasounds aren’t playing a role in the life and death of your patient. But in a CODE, every ultrasound matters and the stakes are always high. Thats why we just can’t get enough if this topic. In this podcast Jacob Avila talks with the residents at UK about how and why to ultrasound during ACLS, code, a cardiac arrest, a death plunge – if you will. Don’t miss this great talk, and keep you’re eye out for our next podcast when we interview Mike Allison on his new Resuscitation article on ultrasounds affect on CPR pauses during cardiac arrest.
