Tom Kehrl, MD, RDMS, is back and gives what I think is one of the better reviews of where we stand with IVC ultrasound. Listen for the how, the when, the why, and the why not. 

Episode 33: The Ultrasound Course - What do we do with the IVC?

As promised, I'll be releasing our US Course as podcast episodes so they are accessible everywhere.  In this episode, I discuss the basics of cardiac US for the EP.

Episode 32: The Ultrasound Course - Basics of Echocardiography

As promised, I'll be releasing our US Course as podcast episodes so they are accessible everywhere.  Of course, we'll start with US 101.

In the second part of a two part episode, EM Chief Resident and resident US guru Jacob Avila (@UltrasoundMD) finishes his discussion of the use of US in undifferentiated dyspnea.  The possibilities are endless, but Dr. Avila shows you how to simplify your clinical decision making and make the right call.
