Every two years the processing power of computers doubles, while the cost halves. Advances in technology are making ultrasound more accessible and effective than ever.

To adequately use ultrasound you need three things

- Have a machine

- Be able to acquire the images

- Interpret and utilise the images effectively, safely and accurately

Ben Smith and Jacob Avilla run us through how technology has enabled ultraportable, ultracheap ultrasound and how this stands to make an incredible global impact.

Tomorrow's Medicine Today Mar 17, 2021

Show notes

The exciting possibilities for tomorrow's medicine are endless. There's the chance that we could revolutionise diagnostics with AI. There's the opportunity for us to use smart phones and wearable technology to allow health professionals to deliver care outside of hospitals. There's the possibility to use 3D printing to manufacture drugs at local pharmacies, personalising drug treatment for individual patients. These are all possible with technologies that exist today. However, on average it takes 17 years to implement new technology. How can we change this? We must never stop asking the questions that begin with "what if".

CodaZero Cure - Full Episode Mar 13, 2021

Show notes

In this episode of CodaZero Cure our stellar line-up of panellists take a deep dive into Sepsis post Covid-19 and reflect on the many opportunities and challenges presented. First, we hear from vaccination uptake expert, Julie Leask, on Covid, vaccination and medical misinformation. Julie highlights some of the key drivers of vaccination hesitancy in society and challenges us, as health professionals, to work together to better inform our community. Next, Senior Intensive Care Registrar, Khairil Musa, presents a moving talk about his experience of managing Covid on the front line in Yemen. Reflecting on an unbelievable experience, Khairil describes the extent of the pandemic and how a lack of resources and infrastructure led to devastating consequences. Our panel examine the clinical management of Covid and what lessons can be learnt to ensure we improve in the future. How do we empower global organisation's to respond to Covid-19 in the best way possible? Access to information and public awareness is the solution to empowering a sense of personal responsibility in tackling diseases such as Covid and Sepsis. But how is this best achieved? What role does the WHO play as a global conductor? Finally, our panellists answer some challenging questions: what about Covid keeps them awake at night? What are the lessons for society and the healthcare system when hopefully the pandemic has passed? If you had the power what is the one thing you would change? Their answers are compelling. Tune in as they discuss everything from the successful roll out of vaccines, to the psychological safety of the medical community, to the need for a shared sense of action and a focus on equity.

He blinded me with science (Critical care ultrasound) by Thomas Dolby Mar 12, 2021

Show notes

It's a challenge to think of a single large multicentre RCT or therapy introduced to critical care in the last 20 years that has meaningfully improved outcomes, yet across the board our outcomes improve year on year, largely due to improvements in Process getting the diagnosis right earlier, instituting therapies that work sooner, and minimising iatrogenic injury. The implementation of ultrasound into bedside clinical practice in emergency departments and intensive care units have accelerated that improvement in process, with new technologies now potentially putting personal ultrasound into the hands of medical students and junior doctors and changing the way medicine is learned and practiced. Are you ready? How will you supervise and train them? How can you implement this technology in your practice?

Listening to community concerns around vaccination must be at the heart of our public health response to the Covid19 pandemic Mar 12, 2021

Show notes

There is enormous concern within the health community regarding public misinformation and the successful rollout of vaccines. They are concerned about the psychological safety of medical professionals in the post-pandemic world. They are worried about the emotional toll that long periods of separation from family and friends have on people from around the world. Now more than ever, we should share our knowledge and experiences on an international scale. We should not lose the sense of equity and the focus on standardisation. And most importantly, we need to listen to what our community is saying and put that at the heart of what we do.
