The Zedu weekly wrap - bringing together the best in free ultrasound news, views and opinions from across the internet.

Zedu Weekly Wrap – 28 February 2025

It’s the last day of February…

meaning Autumn is here for those of us in the South, and Spring for those of you reading in the North. Truly – the year is flying by! Our courses and one-on-one training days are also filling rapidly, so if you’re looking for a specific date be sure to get in sooner rather than later.

The amount of free ultrasound resources are also coming thick and fast – be sure to check out:

  • The US Gel Podcast special edition on regional analgesia with Arun Nagdev and Andrew Goldsmith (25 February)
  • A piece on AI for the hemodynamic assessment of critically ill and surgical patients: focus on clinical applications from the Annals of Intensive Care (24 February)
  • A piece on Women’s perspectives on ultrasound as primary imaging modality for focal breast complaints: a qualitative study from Insights into Imaging (28 February)

Off now to make the most of the last day of summer!!!

See y’all next week
