Hey crew…

this afternoon we bid farewell to another group of new ultrasound users. It has been a fun week and we’ll be sorry to see them all go. But next week we start all over again 🙂

A quiet news week – I’m wondering if there is less FOAMed floating around these days? Do take a look at:

• a @WINFOCUS article that compates contamination rates of sterile-covered and uncovered transducers for ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous lines (7 February).
• a piece on necrotizing fasciitis by @MH_EMultrasoundand @mtabbut (9 February)

Better get back to the floor – there’s some POCUS to teach…

See you next week 🙂
