Zedu Weekly Wrap – 10 June 2022

We’re heading into a long weekend…

Suean and Michael - Zedu Ultrasound

and then spending the week with a gaggle of emergency medicine aficionados at the ICEM22 conference. Two conferences within the month – great fun to be out and about – but we’re defnitely not conference fit!

If you’re attending ICEM22 please come and visit us at table 4 (by the barista!) – it would be great to catch up. Plus, if you take part in our proprioception challenge you could take the Darth Vader Lego set home – sweet!

Highlights to check out this week include a WFUMB article on how probe pressure can affect AAA measurement, a nice block video from the team at @MH_EMultrasound and an article by Tim Spencer (@AirliftNurse) on 10 best practice tips with radial arterial catheterization. Take a look

See you next week (or at ICEM!)

Mike and Suean

P.S. – Suean’s June Coaching Corner on the tips and tricks of remote ultrasound coaching is now available for free on the Coaching Corner webpage – do you have any tips to add?

How to perform an ultrasound contrast myocardial perfusion examination?

(A) Illustrates MBB cleaning and replenishment within the myocardium overtime after a high MI burst of ultrasound (flash). (B) The qualitative grading at rest for viability assessment, based on replenishment overtime (Grade 2 = viability, Grade 1 = probable viability, and Grade 0 = no viability). (C) The qualitative and quantitative evaluation of stress perfusion defect, a rapid complete or partial replenishment indicating ischaemia and MBF reserve <2 indicating abnormal flow reserve/ischaemia. MBB, microbubbles; MI, mechanical index; Nl, normal.
