Zedu Weekly Wrap - 2 May 2025

We’ve worked an entire week for the first time in ages…

which to be honest has been a bit of a shock to the system – as much as the recent sudden turn to the cold as we dive into the winter months. I think public holidays should be a mandatory part of every week – if only for the food.

In the interests of expediency, and with the weekend calling, lets head straight over to the highlights of the week🚀✨

Research in the Critcal Care Journal looking at “Diagnostic accuracy of multi-organ point-of-care ultrasound for pulmonary embolism in critically ill patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis “(26 April)
Australian research investigating “Are Transvaginal Ultrasounds Withheld From Non-Sexually Active Adults? An Online Survey of Current Practices and Opinions of Australasian Sonographers “(26 April)

See you next week
