Zedu Weekly Wrap - 4 March 2022

The week has flown by…

and what a ball we’ve had. With a little obstetric training followed by a dash of cardiac training it’s been great fun. It has been a joy to see the place spring back into life, with everyone has been so keen to get back face-to-face training.

Plenty of news and views to choose from this week – with cardiac dominating the headlines. There are also some articles on the state and form of ultrasound education – make for interesting reading. It’s funny how each week themes seem to emerge.

As always, if there’s something on the horizon that you’d like added to our weeklywrap let us know – always here to help.

See you next week.

Mike and Suean

P.S. – the Coaching Corner last night posed some technological challenges – suspecting Windows 11 “upgrades”. We’ll edit the session to add the slideset that got sidelined and upload soon. In the meantime why not go back through the entire the catalogue here.

Dr.Gargani has played an essential role in evolving point-of-care ultrasound. Once considered a frivolous diagnostic tool, point-of-care ultrasound is now an integral part of emergency departments across the Italian healthcare system #POCUS #lungultrasound https://t.co/QvSllT0Jlv

Wonder what's happening at CASE?@CASEfromASE is asking for YOU to submit your CASE for a Special Issue on Cardiovascular POCUS!

ERs, trauma bays, ICUs and clinics employ POCUS. Echo, vascular, lung, or abdo US that impact CV physiology are encouraged.@ASE360 @JournalASEcho pic.twitter.com/8QTvgxo4lB
