Zedu Weekly Wrap – 18 October 2024

Gosh – we’re already halfway through October…

so we’re quietly getting ready for Halloween and then a long weekend for the Melbourne Cup – can’t wait. If you’d like an excuse to visit Melburne in it’s spring prime – along with attending one of the world’s major events – there are still a few spots left on a couple of courses leading up to and after cup weekend. So check your roster, pack your bags and come visit – but get in fast – don’t get pipped at the post.

As always there are plenty of free ultrasound goodies from the week:

  • Again – #Blocktober24 continues to deliver with daily anaesthesia gems from Jeff Gadsden (@jeffgadsden)
  • Critical Care Medicine (@CritCareMed) on “The Impact of Point-of-Care Ultrasound-Guided Resuscitation on Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Shock: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis*” (17 October)
  • The latest Block it Like It’s Hot podcast (@BlockIt_Hot_Pod) featuring Tanya Selak (@GongGasGirl) talking all things regional anaesthesia (15 October)
  • A publication in Ultrasound International Open addressing “Pancreatic ultrasound: An update of measurements, reference values, and variations of the pancreas”  (14 October)

We’ve also had a great reception to Australia’s first ultrasound training course dedicated to gastric ultrasound. .

Echocardiographic imaging of the aorta at different levels. A Parasternal long-axis view of the aortic annulus, sinus of Valsalva, and sinotubular junction measured in systole using the inner-to-inner method. Measurements should be taken perpendicular to blood flow. B Parasternal long-axis view of the sinus of Valsalva and sinotubular junction measured in diastole using the leading edge-to-leading edge method. C Parasternal short-axis view of the aortic valve measured in diastole and using the largest aortic diameter. D Parasternal long-axis of the ascending aorta, measured in systole at the level of the right pulmonary artery, using the inner-to-inner method. E Suprasternal view of the aortic arch measured in systole between the truncus brachiocephalicus and the left carotid artery, using the inner-to-inner diameter. F Modified apical two-chamber view of the descending aorta measured at the level of the left atrium in systole using the inner-to-inner method. G Subcostal view of the abdominal aorta at the level of the liver, measured in systole using the inner-to-inner diameter. Ao, aorta; AP2CH, apical two-chamber view; LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle; PSLAX, parasternal long-axis view; PSSAX, parastenal short-axis view
