Zedu Weekly Wrap – 12 May 2023
Hey – it’s Friday…
which means it’s our favorite day of the week – time for the Weekly Wrap! So grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and let’s dive in!
Resources to take a look at this week include an opinion piece tweetorial on ‘Is #POCUS a waste of time” by @iceman_ex, a summary of the 10 #POCUS papers of 2022 from @dan__kim, and for those of you into lung artifacts a piece on the “Influence of Ultrasound Settings on Laboratory Vertical Artifacts” in @WFUMB. Something for everyone.
And don’t forget to catch up on the #coachingcorner – making scanning twins a walk in the park.
Over and out – see you next week…
Suean and Mike
P.S. Get the most out of your teaching moments – join our TRain the UltraSound Trainer (TRUST) course This isn’t a course on how to perform an ultrasound examination or use the technology – it’s designed to give you the teaching tools you’ll need to teach ultrasound on the run. In the words of a previous participant – it’s meta!

Just found this gem in an old slide set from #TRUST with @zedunow back in '19. Was inspired by a fab @aliteplo talk given in 2016 @WINFOCUS, but adapted for the inpatient hospital with shared rooms env. But poor EM folks now would have to add all the hall beds, boarders & such 😓 pic.twitter.com/IMeGl3pTFE

The increased utility of point-of-care ultrasound has allowed clinicians the freedom to rethink their diagnostic approach for many common diseases. How well does the US perform in diagnosing PTA compared to CT, needle aspiration, or Incision and Drainage? https://t.co/pr9mqDXX1S pic.twitter.com/URee6gWrBF

If you've mastered #POCUS guided vascular access, thoracentesis and paracentesis are rather straight forward

A survey was conducted on point-of-care ultrasonography (#POCUS) training among @MedicalCollege of Wisconsin faculty and advanced practice providers. Results show a need for a well-structured training program to bridge the knowledge gap. #medicaltraining https://t.co/rgYaTvWuhg

These are POCUS papers from the past year that caught our eye, with either a great clinical take-home, or an eye to the future of where #ultrasound is going#VanPOCUS23 @VancouverPOCUS pic.twitter.com/zDwB46edfA— Dan Kim (@dan___kim) May 6, 2023
Deresuscitation has become more and more ubiquitous within ICU practice. But what tools can we use to do it? Over the next 2 Tweetorials, i’ll explain some pharmacological methods. Focussing on the JICS mix!

In 8 of these cases, the criticism was that there was an issue with the #POCUS scan that was performed: misdiagnosis, problem with approach, reporting issues, lack of skill, and documentation @ross_prager #VanPOCUS23 @VancouverPOCUS https://t.co/beJUttCESq pic.twitter.com/Y4gohaD5wX
