Zedu Weekly Wrap - 17 April 2025

The weekly wrap is being released a day early…

given that the Easter Bunny is on the way along with the delivery of a long weekend. Two in a row in fact, with ANZAC Day falling next week – it’s a public holiday bonanza.

So – keeping it brief – highlights we recommend from the free ultrasound news of this week🚀✨

the latest version of the POCUS Journal is out – with loads of great content relevant to all specialties (16 April)
tune in to the Block it Like it’s Hot podcast for more about blocks in the ED (16 April).
RebelEM and POCUS of the IVC – distensibility vs collapsibility (16 April)

The systems are off, the gel warmers cooled.

Hopping out now…
