Spring has sprung…

and the wattle’s out – which is beautiful but the many who suffer from hay fever are cursing! Just as we were cursing a little last night as we went through 5 computers trying to get the coaching corner up and running! In the end everything worked (we were sweating) and had a great session on communicating the probe moves. The recording will be up on the website soon.

Plenty of highlights to work through this week – lung ultrasound featuring as is the case these days (@AlmudenaAlonso4, @drmilicaa, @JaypeeJournals) and a consensus paper Establishing the International Research Priorities for Pediatric Emergency Medicine Point-of-Care Ultrasound (@SAEMonline ft @PEM_Ultrasound, @shefmd, @thedoctormaz, @DGoodAsGold, @AaronKornblith, @ASiv7475).

An we encourage you to join our POCUS Educators / Seed Support Network on Facebook. – a safe space to share education tips, resources and issues.See you next week

Suean and Mike

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! We’re running this internationally recognised course in Australia for the first time in July and October – don’t miss out.

22 – 23 October

This week will be sharing #ICUOnePagers about #shock!

First, an approach to shock. Is it cardiogenic, obstructive, hypovolemic, or distributive?

This OnePager covers #physiology & how to integrate #POCUS, 🩺exam, & 🩸hemodynamics in your assessment.https://t.co/Bz61cW6fut pic.twitter.com/JCD6OSJMg8
