Emergency physician and ultrasound educator Dr. Tom Cook joins us to teach ultrasound techniques for the assessment and management of ocular trauma.
The loss of vision is the most feared disability in the general population. In this 1-hour webinar, Dr. Cook provides an in-depth understanding of the use of ultrasound in the initial evaluation of ophthalmic applications and the integration of ultrasound findings into clinical decision-making. You’ll learn:
- Indications and common ocular pathologies that can be diagnosed with ultrasound
- The value of rapid ultrasound in patients presenting with ocular trauma
- Techniques for scanning the eye
- The ultrasound appearance of retinal detachment, vitreous bleeding, lens dislocation, papilledema, and ocular trauma
- How POCUS can enhance decision-making, reduce time to treatment, and improve outcomes
According to ACEP, ocular emergencies account for 3% of all ED visits. Using ultrasound to examine the eye is quick, non-invasive, and can be performed on patients with eye pain, loss of vision, headache, or trauma, replacing the need for fundoscopic exams.
POCUS has become increasingly valuable in the diagnosis and management of ocular emergencies and is regarded as a critical tool in this context due to its speed, ease of use, and reliability. It provides physicians with a fast and non-invasive method to identify common ocular pathologies like retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, and vitreous detachment. And in extreme situations, globe rupture can be identified. We’ll see several examples of ocular ultrasounds to help you sharpen your ocular scanning skills.
If you care for patients with eye complaints, this webinar is a must! Join us to learn how easy it is for non-ophthalmologists to examine the eye and avoid missing crucial pathologies that could lead to vision loss.
