Emergency physician and ultrasound educator Dr. Tom Cook is back to teach point-of-care ultrasound techniques to easily and accurately aid in the diagnosis and management of shock to enhance decision making and patient care.
In this 1-hour webinar, Dr. Cook demonstrates expert ultrasound techniques to perform the RUSH protocol and quickly determine next steps for patients presenting to the ER in shock or undifferentiated hypotension. You’ll learn:
- The definition of shock and the 4 different types
- Defining the RUSH protocol and the difference between FAST and RUSH
- The four key areas that are examined in a RUSH ultrasound exam
- How to determine the choice of IV fluids versus medications as treatment for a patient in shock based on the ultrasound findings
- Using ultrasound to guide fluid management in the complicated patient with heart failure
- How ultrasound findings in cardiac arrest can predict patient survival
There is a high mortality rate in patients presenting with undifferentiated shock, but point-of-care ultrasound, in particular the RUSH protocol, can play an important role in reducing diagnostic uncertainty. Knowing the cause of shock is key to guiding treatment and resuscitation. Join Dr. Cook for his POCUS techniques for evaluating and managing shock.
The components of the RUSH exam are the Pump (heart), Tank (intravascular), and Pipes (large arteries and veins). Dr. Cook teaches his systematic approach and proven techniques to obtain accurate ultrasound views of the heart, IVC, pleura and lungs, and intraperitoneal cavity in just a few minutes in order to determine the cause of shock and subsequent treatment.
Dr. Cook shares real case studies each with a unique presentation and describe in detail the ultrasound findings of the RUSH exam. He shares some pearls regarding the evaluation and management of shock using ultrasound. Join this FREE webinar to learn practical knowledge from the expert that you can use with your next patient to deliver the best care.
Dr. Cook is joined by emergency physician Oron Frenkel and sonographer Shelley Guenther for live scanning to help you build practical skills.
