Zedu Weekly Wrap - 1 October 2021

It’s October already …

and daylight saving is upon us – which means we’re on the road to summer! We’re all hoping that this – in conjunction with high vaccination rates – means things may seem a little more hopeful than recent events suggest. We have everything crossed.

Another week of ultrasound tips and treasures from all around the world – even if you can’t travel, the knowledge can travel to you.

And as always -if you have something coming up you’d like to add or a gem we may have overlooked – let us know.

See you next week.

Mike and Suean

P.S. – The next Coaching Corner will be Zooming to you on Thursday October 7 at 7.30pm – came and join us.

#Ultrasound-guided IV placement is an essential skill for #EMdocs, but there’s wide practice variability. @CMPreik & @NAshenburg (@StanfordEMED) outline best practices including site selection, positioning, technique, sterility, etc.

#POCUS is excellent for ruling out pneumothorax but watch out for delayed pneumothorax hours post-procedure. Consider repeat US before sending home on same day. @Kproud07 @DocAbedi https://t.co/hODyvtbSFn

SUCH an honor to share stories, photos & why of the incredible @JaniceBoughton, who has taught & practiced w #POCUS around 🌍 "It's been nearly 10 years since I started learning ultrasound and I'm still excited about it.
