Zedu Weekly Wrap - 29 August 2025

And so – winter ends…

the days lengthen, the light brightens and the lawns are forever growing!! And we are warming up here too as we get ready to move into a new scanning space. Can’t wait.

Here’s a quick round-up of what’s been making headlines in the world of ultrasound this week! 🚀✨

Sonography has an interesting publication on “Sonographer Performed Vascular Access and Injection of Local Anaesthetic: A Clinical Audit of Peripherally Inserted Central and Midline Catheters” (26 August)
Intensive Care Medicine has a piece discussing “How we use ultrasound to support clinical decisions on fluid administration in critical ill patients” (25 August)
SJTRM has published research on “The role of serial point-of-care ultrasound during cardiac arrest to predict termination of resuscitation” (24 August)

Heading out to pull some weeds now! See you in Spring.
