Hypothetical scenario:  You think your patient needs something your attending does not, and it is not insignificant (ie, you want them admitted, more agressively resuscitated, etc).  How do you handle it?  What would you want your residents to do?

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. Remember, you can also find all of these lectures on the website at http://emrespodcast.org/introduction-to-point-of-care-ultrasound/. 

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. Dr. Kehrl gives you in my opinion the best review of the basic principles needed to start using US. Remember, you can also find all of these lectures on the website at http://emrespodcast.org/introduction-to-point-of-care-ultrasound/. 

Episode 31: The Ultrasound Course - US 101

The EM Res Podcast is back for a basic discussion of important principles in your approach to the emergency patient. Get a good H/P, ask the right questions, and avoid common pitfalls to help you figure out who is sick, and who is not. 

Episode 30: Sick or Not Sick?

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.
