This course is designed for medical professionals utilizing point-of-care ultrasound who want to build on their hip injection skills. Learn best practices for proximal hamstring, pubic symphysis, and sacroiliac (out of plane technique) injections. Develop an understanding of which surrounding sensitive anatomy to avoid.

The eye can easily be visualized using ultrasound. Pathologies such as retinal detachment, vitreous detachment/hemorrhage, abnormal intracranial pressure, papilledema, and ruptured globe can be identified even by the novice users of ultrasound. Learn which transducers, exam types, and gain/depth settings are ideal for ophthomalogical imaging.

Understand the basic ultrasound views and techniques associated with performing an ultrasound pelvic examination for first trimester pregnancy, surrounding anatomical structures, and proper equipment settings. In addition, support literature, case studies, pathology images, and videos may be included for review. 

The RUSH course is designed for medical professionals with comprehensive knowledge of the core underlying concepts of the RUSH protocol, which includes cardiac, Inferior Vena Cava (IVC), eFAST, lung, aorta, and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) ultrasound examinations. Learn the RUSH protocol for assessing patients in shock. 

When trying to diagnose a partial rotator cuff tear on ultrasound, how should the patient be positioned? Why should you avoid anisotropic artifact during a shoulder scan? What kind of transducer should be used for an obese patient when performing a lateral shoulder injection?

All of these questions, and more, are addressed in the shoulder course. Learn to differentiate normal and abnormal shoulder onscreen anatomy and become familiar with the transducer positioning and angling methods that will help you develop a more accurate ultrasound-guided shoulder injection technique.

In this first part of the Ultrasound Instrumentation course, you will develop the confidence to understand the system components, equipment controls and settings, and techniques for necessary for creating an ultrasound image.

In the second part of the Ultrasound Instrumentation Course, you will advance your skills on creating a quality diagnostic image by understanding the concepts of acoustics, Doppler controls and optimizing images, and ultrasound safety and bioeffects. 

After completing the Ultrasound-Guided Paracentesis course, viewers should be able to explain the basic outline of ultrasound-guided paracentesis, including: methods for image optimization, ideal equipment selections and settings, identification of abdominal anatomy frequently encountered during paracentesis, and the most common procedural steps involved in performing an ultrasound-guided paracentesis.

The Ultrasound-Guided Paracentesis course provides a basic outline of ultrasound-guided thoracentesis, including methods for image optimization, ideal ultrasound equipment settings (including transducer selection), identification of anatomical structures, and the most common procedural steps involved in performing an ultrasound-guided thoracentesis.
