Hey ultrasound lovers…

beaming in from a mystery overseas location today taking our #POCUS knowledge tropical 🙂

Which begs the question – if you could do a Zedu course anywhere in the world, where would that be? Let us know – who knows what will happen!

Heading off poolside (ultrasound safely tucked away), so take a look at:

• Anesthesia & Analgesia on ‘The Use of Ultrasound in Airway Management: Video in Clinical Anesthesia’ (17 September)
• Arthritis Research & Therapy (@ArthritisRes) on ‘A versatile role for lung ultrasound in systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases related pulmonary involvement: a narrative review’ (18 September)
•  Colin Bell (@colinrbell), Jason Nomura (@Takeokun) and Rob Ferre (@robmferre) on ‘Point-of-Care Ultrasound Infrastructure’ (15 September)

And of course don’t miss the Block it Like It’s Hot podcast – always a fun listen (17 September).

See you next week.
