Zedu Weekly Wrap – 11 October 2024

It has been a busy time here…

as we welcomed back daylight saving – threw a few of us here with jetlag symptoms minus the fun international travel bit. PLUS some of the wall clocks were overlooked – mmmm 🙂

We also launched our latest offering this week – Australia’s first ultrasound training course dedicated to gastric ultrasound. Ultrasound has come to the fore in this application with the increased use of GLP-1 agonists and the range of physiological factors that can confound the (somewhat anachronistic) fasting guidelines. In only one day you can develop the skill to utilise ultrasound utilising a simple protocol, significantly reducing aspiration risk and improving patient management. Get on board…

Zedu gastric ultrasound course

Highlights of the week to look at:

  • #Blocktober24 continues with daily anaesthesia gems from Jeff Gadsden (@jeffgadsden)
  • Several interesting articles from the Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine (10 October)

See you next week.
