POCUS LIVE: 1st, 2nd and 3rd Trimester Portable Ultrasound Exams for Immediate Answers

In this live portable POCUS workshop, expert sonographer Esther Donohue B.S.,RDMS,RDCS,RVT will demonstrate rapid point-of-care ultrasound exams with expectant mothers in their first, second, and third trimester! Lunch is sponsored by Clarius wireless ultrasound.

Point-of-care ultrasound is now recommended as a “routine extension of practice for most OB/GYN clinicians.”¹ Ideal for first visits, quick check-ups, and when you need to investigate pelvic pain, pre-term labor symptoms and fetal viability, modern handheld ultrasound systems deliver the real-time imaging you need for a confident assessment at the bedside.

Different from in-depth prenatal ultrasound examinations, POCUS is a focused bedside study to rapidly obtain high-quality imaging and real-time clinically relevant information that helps with decision making. In this live workshop, you’ll learn to derive clinical value with POCUS at all stages of gestation, from 5 weeks to term, with real-time imaging for interventional, diagnostic, and screening applications. Esther Donahue will explore how to:

• Perform easy and quick POCUS exams for each trimester
• Locate the placenta, fetal lie, and presentation
• Confirm fetus viability and heart health
• Take accurate BPD and head circumference measurements
• Assess Amniotic Fluid Volume (AFV) using the SDP Technique
• Perform M-mode to assess cardiac rhythm and rate
• And more!

For many obstetricians, the rapid development, image quality, and low cost of portable ultrasound systems has proven to profoundly change their practice, improving patient engagement and outcomes. Don’t miss this highly dynamic lunch and learn that will feature live scanning for all three trimesters. You’ll learn 1st, 2nd, and 3rd trimester rapid POCUS exams you can use with your next patient to improve the care of the expectant mother and fetus. Save your seat today!
