Welcome to the penultimate Weekly Wrap of 2024…

we’ve almost reached the end of the year! While it might be busy in real life, it has been a little quiet on the new free content front. Not sure if the migration from X and reconnecting via BlueSky has anything to do with this, but we’ll keep working through all the feeds to make sure you have easy access to all the ultrasound goodies out there.

Don’t foget – if you have anything that hits your radar, you have content or something that piques your interest let us know.

News highlights from this week:

• Point of care ultrasound in austere environments: a scoping review (6 December)
• Katie Wiskar provides some lung and cardiac learning gems on X and BlueSky (5 & 4 December)
• An interesting study on the effects of US guided Subacromial Injection Versus Subacromial Injection and Suprascapular Nerve Block on Pain, Function, and Sleep Quality in Rotator Cuff Lesions (30 November)

Signing off for Friday.

See you next week

1/ On the topic of #LungUltrasound – You absolutely CANNOT talk about #LUS without talking about Dr Daniel Lichtenstein. He is the undisputed father of lung ultrasound, and he’s been working in this field since before many of us were born! 🤯 And – he’s coming to #HR25!! 🤩 #emimcc

I love love LOVE scanning the heart 😍, but when it comes to bang for your buck for ultrasound novices, lung ultrasound is such a winner 🏆

It’s time for another #POCUS basics #tweetorial 🧵
