Zedu Weekly Wrap - 16 September 2022

School holidays are upon us…

and – having had the longest fully delivered semester in years, we’re all definitely in need of a break! Everyone here will be taking a few well deserved days off, recharging and hanging out with the family. One of the few benefits of running your own shop – and a benefit for the crew – is you get to be flexible in scheduling. But never fear, we’ll be back ready to wield the probes in a few days…try keeping us away.

Highlights this week to check out include a new approach to the eFAST examination (@NagdevArun), a new DRAUP protocol for reducing post CVC CXR from Washington University School of Medicine (@cameron_baston) and we uploaded the recording of our September coaching corner on teaching and communicating the probe moves.

Heading off now for a few days off – but we’ll see you next week.

When doing ultrasound guided vascular access procedures it is incorrect to use flash as an indicator of correct needle placement. This strategy frequently leads to failure, especially USGPIVs and radial A-lines. Here's why: 1/x

Reason #653357 why #pocus is important: low sensitivity / low specificity chest x-rays yield imprecise results and sloppy treatment plans.

Take this case of an 81 year old presenting with 3 days of shortness of breath and intermittent cough. Found to be in atrial fib in the ED
