A massive week of ED and other courses…

with more gel consumed than should reasonably be allowed outside a radiology department! The washing machine has had a workout too with more towels than a sauna. The Zedu HQ has been running hot, hot, hot…

Plenty of hot articles on the wire too this week – highlights to check out:

• Terminology of Pleural Artifacts in Ultrasound: A Tower of Babel (Insights into Imaging) 13 March – This article tackles the ongoing confusion surrounding how we describe what we see in the lungs. If we can’t agree on the name, it’s hard to agree on the diagnosis. A must-read for anyone doing bedside lung POCUS.
• Catching Silent Heart Killers—How Bedside Ultrasound Revealed Hidden Endocarditis: A Case Report (Clinical Practice and Cases in Emergency Medicine) 11 March 2026 – A powerful reminder of why we do what we do. This case highlights how a quick bedside scan can pick up critical pathology that might otherwise be missed in a busy ED setting.

Off to cool down and let the systems catch their breath for next week.

Keep your probes clean and the gel warm.
