Ultrasound Fellowship trained emergency physicians Oron Frenkel and Brian Johnson teach five ways point-of-care ultrasound expedites diagnosis and improves procedural accuracy.
Join us for an insightful and interactive 1-hour webinar where Drs. Frenkel and Johnson will explore the essential ultrasound skills you need in the fast-paced world of emergency medicine. You’ll learn how ultrasound can help to:
- Diagnose retinal detachment and other ocular emergencies
- Perform a femoral/fascia iliaca nerve block for regional anesthesia in femoral and hip fracture patients
- Identify primary and secondary signs of appendicitis
- Diagnose and grade small bowel obstruction
- Increase first-attempt success rates, reduce complications, and improve patient comfort for peripheral IV insertions
Through interactive presentations, real patient cases, and live demonstrations, you’ll gain practical insights that can significantly enhance your ultrasound proficiency in the emergency department.
Whether you’re an experienced POCUS practitioner or new to point-of-care ultrasound, join Drs. Oron Frenkel and Brian Johnson as they provide valuable knowledge and skills to improve patient care and streamline diagnosis, saving time in critical cases.
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. In this webinar, we explore how to use wireless ultrasound to rapidly assess for retinal detachment or vitreous hemorrhage.
For traumatic injury to a lower extremity, ultrasound-guided femoral nerve blocks are highly effective for pain control and reduce the risk of complications associated with opioids. You’ll learn to use ultrasound to easily identify the femoral nerve, fascia iliaca, and your needle, to ensure safe and accurate guided injections.
Although CT is considered the gold standard for diagnosing acute bowel abnormalities like appendicitis and small bowel obstruction, POCUS is quickly becoming the go-to diagnostic tool for emergency physicians due to its low cost, availability, and absence of ionizing radiation. In several studies, ultrasound has been shown to decrease morbidity and length of stay in the emergency department. We explore ultrasound scanning techniques to rapidly diagnose appendicitis and identify small bowel obstructions.
Obesity, IV drug abuse, hypovolemia, and anatomical variation are all factors that can make blind or landmark-guided PIV access challenging. Drs. Frenkel and Johnson will demonstrate how to use ultrasound to clearly visualize vascular structures and guide cannula insertion to avoid complications like arterial puncture, contact with nerves, and bruising.
Don’t miss this opportunity to stay at the forefront of emergency medicine by mastering these 5 ultrasound skills. Join us to elevate your expertise and make a difference in the lives of your patients.
