Zedu Weekly Wrap - 18 August 2023

What can we say but congratulations…

to the Australian Women’s Football team – the Matildas – for reaching the lofty heights of the World Cup semi-finals. What a wild ride, and evidence if ever needed that deliberate practice can take you to the top.

Which brings me to the point – how has your ultrasound deliberate practice been tracking? Hopefully you’ve all been taking mindful steps towards reaching your imaging goals – why not let us know how you’re going.

A little light on with news this week, but highlights we recommend:

a prospective observational cohort study on pre-operative gastric ultrasound in patients at risk of pulmonary aspiration conducted by S. J. Baettig and team (18 August)
Lianne McLean (@doctorlianne) and her team on “Outcomes of a Comprehensive Ultrasound Guided Peripheral IV Insertion (USGPIV) Training Program in a Pediatric Emergency Department” (17 August).

Off to kick a football with the kids now – see you next week!

Make 2024 your year of ultrasound and check out our range of scheduled and one-on-one options that will get you scanning like a pro.

Get the most out of your teaching moments – join our TRain the UltraSound Trainer (TRUST) course This isn’t a course on how to perform an ultrasound examination or use the technology – it’s designed to give you the teaching tools you’ll need to teach ultrasound on the run. In the words of a previous participant – it’s meta!

POCUS is a great tool to help with the assessment of patients. And can increase value to patients. This study shows that the application of POCUS can result in cost savings for patients.https://t.co/QO5eN825P9 #POCUS #ultrasound #healthcare @MartyMakary @zedunow @NephroP
