Joint pain is a fairly common complaint and accurately identifying fluid (or lack thereof) can be difficult and frustrating without POCUS! In this video I show you how to identify joint effusions (including shoulder, knee and hip effusions) and how to use ultrasound to accurately stick a needle in it to either drain that fluid or to aspirate it. (sorry about the audio quality on the intro/outro, I'm working with some new equipment and also it was beautiful outside ☺)

Ultrasound is an indispensable adjunct when performing vascular access in the subset of patients that need it. Unfortunately, ergonomics are often not ideal when performing POCUS-guided vascular access, especially when the ultra-portable POCUS devices are used.

The folks at Oculine were kind enough to send me one of their devices (specifically made for the Butterfly iQ+) and in this video I unbox it and show you how its used, both with peripheral IV's as well as with nerve blocks. Check it out!

https://www.coreultrasound.com/Airway ultrasound is something that can be quite complex but at its most basic, it can be used to help determine if you have endotracheal versus endobronchial intubation. This is definitely not something that needs to be done all the time, but is a great adjunct in the appropriate clinical setting!

In this weeks podcast, Jacob talks about all things cardiac arrest ultrasound. He tackles 3 different topics starting with ID'ing reversible causes. Not all of the H's and T's are amenable to ultrasound diagnosis, but you can use ultrasound for: Tamponade, Tension PTX, Thromboses, Trauma and Hypovolemia. With procedures, ultrasound-guidance is key, but don't forget that an IO is much faster. Ultrasound-guided pulse checks maybe are a little controversial if you just read abstracts. Remember: ten seconds = ten seconds. The ultrasound does not prolong pulse checks, humans prolong pulse checks. Enjoy!
