Zedu Weekly Wrap - 1 July 2022

It’s school holidays…

so the Zedu crew have been taking a little time for a quieter relaxed week to catch up with family – and hopefully some sleep; given it’s been the first uninterrupted school term for a few years everyone needs it!

Now tipping into a new month and new financial year this week – fun for those accountants amongst us.

Hot off the press this week are a few new covid related lung ultrasound articles (see @Crit_Care and @BMJ_Open) – these continue to bring new and interesting information. And a couple of articles on integrating POCUS education in the emergency (@nilamjsoni and @AIUMUltrasound @IUEM_ultrasound) and internal medicine space – well worth a read. And a new POCUS book on the way soon – Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Critical Care: a practical guide to POCUS – by @LukeFlower1 et al.

That’s all for now…see you next week

Mike and Suean

P.S. – July’s #coachingcorner is only a week away. This month Suean has been asked to cover the basics of breast #ultrasound – how to, tips & tricks. Zoom in live & free Thurs 7 July, 7.30pm (AEST)

Advancing technology has birthed pocket-sized #POCUS devices that increase accessibility & address limitations of conventional #ultrasound machines.
