Zedu Weekly Wrap - 19 November 2021

We’ve been busy…

catching up on two years of delayed courses and training. We’re running fast and having a ball being back on the tools.

We do need your help though – we’re always on the lookout for new patient models. If you know people that are in our vicinity (Greensborough), are willing to let people use their body for science and want to make a little cash on the side pass them in our direction. Registration forms and Q&As are on our website.

Plenty of free goodies from the #POCUS world this week – our friend Yale in Spain has an article on the early detection of severe covid using lung ultrasound that is well worth a read, as is having a look at the new @SocietyGIM and @yourICM resources.

And as always let us know if there is something you’d like to promote or if there is something we missed.

See you next week.

Mike and Suean

P.S. – the November edition of Coaching Corner is now available for your viewing pleasure – hear and see Allan outline ways ultrasound can replace x-ray in day to day practice – awesome cases and examples – check it out.

Combined with PaFi can identify higher risk patients (Rho -0.897):
– ICU admission
– Requiring mechanical ventilation
– Longer hospital stay
– Mortality
