POCUS ULTRASOUND CRASH COURSE – PART 1 With the COVID-19 pandemic Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) has never been more important. This crash course covers the most relevant pathologies, which can be detected with ultrasound. In the first part we cover the following topics: Which scanner should I use? How to image, when to apply POCUS, the Morison´s pouch, Koller´s pouch and pleural effusion. Speakers: Martin Altersberger MD, Thomas Binder MD, FESC

POCUS ULTRASOUND CRASH COURSE – PART 2 In this video lecture you will learn how to use POCUS for the lungs, the heart, urinary bladder, gall bladder and the aorta. We cover important conditions such as pneumothorax, pulmonary congestion, heart failure, aortic aneurysms, urinary retention gallstones and cholecystitis. Special emphasis is placed on the role of POCUS in COVID- 19 patients with pneumonia. Speakers: Martin Altersberger MD, Thomas Binder MD, FESC

Dr. Jason Fischer (http://www.twitter.com/eUSMD) describes a complex patient that presented abdominal pain. POCUS was used to confirm acute cardiac failure - it narrows differential diagnoses and tailors downstream care, helping us be effective emergency physicians ********** P2Share is a multilingual collaboration of physicians and specialists in the field of Paediatric Emergency Medicine. Our goal is to highlight point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) as a viable solution in bedside patient care. We aim to bring POCUS, an industry disruptive technology, to millions of children globally, significantly improving their quality of care while decreasing overall healthcare costs.
