Zedu Weekly Wrap - 12 April 2024

Winter seemd to hit overnight in Melbourne…

as this week we’ve seen the temperature drop and the evenings get darker earlier with the end of daylight savings. But there’s no time to hibernate – there’s a whole lof of ultrasound to teach! Suean and Myra have both been inspired by learnings from their annual trip to AIUM (Austin TX this year) – watch this space for program developments – it may involve stetsons 🙂

Recommendations to review from this week’s FOAMed ultrasound resources:

Head-to-toe bedside ultrasound for adults on ECMO from the latest issue of ICM (11 April) via @FOAMecmo.
April’s PEARLS lecture from our very own Dr Jono Henry (@DrJonoHenry) featuring Tom Heller talking ‘Ultrasound of the liver in the tropical low resource setting’ (9 April).
POCUS Tips & Tricks with Diane Gramer, RDMS, RVT, RT(R) from @MH_EMultrasound (6 April).

Off to find a blanket to keep warm now…see you next week.

Mike and Suean
