How to Tape IV's Apr 12, 2019

Show notes

Even if I work my fastest, it still takes me a few minutes to place my ultrasound-guided IV's. Because of this, I would rather not have to place multiple IV's when they pop out. I have a particular way of taping my IV's to make sure they don't come out. Check out my technique and let me know what you think!

Non-linear Probes for Lung Sliding?? Mar 15, 2019

Show notes

Its is absolutely necessary to switch to the linear transducer when looking for lung sliding (i.e., PTX)? While the linear will definitely give you the best image, watch this video to see my thoughts on using the curvilinear and even the phased array in the eval of lung sliding! While continuing to my work with revamping the Ultrasound Leadership Academy's curriculum, I had this thought. Maybe we don't need to switch every time? Check it out!
