Zedu Weekly Wrap – 21 April 2023

Happy Friday everyone…

Suean and Michael - Zedu Ultrasound

beaming in this morning from Sydney where we’re about to launch into a weekend of training the trainers using our TRUST system. Running the TRUST program is always rewarding, and the enthusiasm of trainers to make a difference in ultrasound education is inspiring. So many energetic people with amazing ideas – we’re really looking forward to learning alongside everyone.

Highlights this week that we recommend you take a look at include the team at @MH_EMultrasound giving insight into bedside testicular ultrasound, a primer for clinical POCUS leadership in the ED – Canadian focused with global relevance – by Colin Bell (@colinrbell) et al, and a good Tweetorial from Michael Turk (@michaelturk6) on the VExUS grading system for quantifying venous congestion. Plus lots, lots more.

Heading out into the big city now – look out Sydney!

Have a great week.

Suean and Mike

P.S. – the April Coaching Corner is available for your viewing pleasure now on the website – listen in as Suean dishes up the secret sauce revealing 8 strategies you can use to help you & your student get results faster.

Zedu Coaching Corner April 2023 - how to maximise your ultrasound teaching potential

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!

How to unload the left ventricle during veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Physiopathological driven suggested pathway for left ventricular unloading in patients undertaking VA ECMO. On the left side severe LV dilatation with blood stasis on the aortic side and severely abnormal pulse Doppler at the left upper PV as demonstrated by diastolic flow reversal. Impella placement led to effective LV offloading with a reduction of left ventricular end-diastolic and LAP. Right side: severely hypertrophied LV related to long-standing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and myocardial oedema. LA smoke effect suggesting disproportionate LAP increase with no evidence of flow through the PV. The placement of an atrial transseptal cannula resolved the congestion with the restoration of flow though PV with additional IABP to offload the LV. The echocardiographic assessment, on top of haemodynamic continuous monitoring, should be performed throughout the MCS validation process/placement, soon after ECMO placement, at least daily -for monitoring for LV recovery and potential MCS weaning to decrease the risk of complications- and each time a haemodynamic variation clinically significant event occurs. LV: left ventricle; HCM: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; MCS: mechanical circulatory support; LA: left atrium; IABP: intra-aortic balloon pump.
