You Should Start Scanning Mar 17, 2018

Show notes

I’m trying something different with this podcast. I wanted to see what a purely audio podcast “looks” like. Most of the time I’m definitely going to be doing this podcasts using videos since, you know, you need to see ultrasounds to learn from them. However, what I want to talk about is not a specific pathology, or a new way to scan things. I want to talk about how to get started using ultrasound in your daily practice.

Two-Axis Technique for US-guided Vascular Access Jan 18, 2018

Show notes

This week I discuss the way I do about 90% of my ultrasound-guided vascular access: The two-axis technique. This technique advances the needle in the short axis, then turns it into the long axis to advance the catheter off of the needle into the vein. Looking forward to hearing what you think about it! (http://blog.5minsono.com/2-axis/) In this post I also talk about the best way to do long and short axis approaches to US-guided vascular access and how the two-axis technique combines the best of both worlds!
