I've performed the TAP (Transversus Abdominus Plane) block a few times, but as an EM doc, I sometimes have a hard time finding a good application for it. In this week's podcast, Dr. Kat Vlasica joins us again to enlighten us on some novel applications of the TAP block as well as introduce us to some variations on the TAP block: The subcostal TAP and the rectus sheath block.

Spoiler: Dr. Spiegel uses IVC ultrasound in every one of his sick patients. Another spoiler: Volume responsiveness might not be all that important. Check out the podcast on his top tips for evaluating the IVC and his thoughts on volume responsiveness, volume tolerance and why it might not even matter.

In this weeks podcast, Jacob talks about all things cardiac arrest ultrasound. He tackles 3 different topics starting with ID'ing reversible causes. Not all of the H's and T's are amenable to ultrasound diagnosis, but you can use ultrasound for: Tamponade, Tension PTX, Thromboses, Trauma and Hypovolemia. With procedures, ultrasound-guidance is key, but don't forget that an IO is much faster. Ultrasound-guided pulse checks maybe are a little controversial if you just read abstracts. Remember: ten seconds = ten seconds. The ultrasound does not prolong pulse checks, humans prolong pulse checks. Enjoy!

This week I had the pleasure of giving a virtual lecture for the Utah College of Emergency Physicians meeting, and I recorded it for your viewing pleasure! The RUSH exam (the version that I use) was invented by Scott Weingart a few years ago and is super useful in patients with undifferentiated hypotension. It stands for "Rapid Ultrasound in Shock and Hypotension". Check it out here! Make sure to check out my website, www.coreultrasound.com.

In this episode, I demonstrate a case of early tamponade in which only right atrial diastolic collapse is visualized (rather than the oft-quoted right ventricular diastolic collapse), as well as review the literature on the sonographic findings. I also suggest that maybe tamponade should be considered more of a sonographic diagnosis rather than a clinical diagnosis. Check it out for more info! On a side note, Terren Trott, Ben Smith and I are going to be putting together a new live and online ultrasound course March 15-16th! We’re going to spend the first day talking about content creation and the second day talking about how to run an ultrasound division. The content creation course will cover how to create online presentations, how to use microblogging platforms (such as twitter and instagram) and how to give in-person presentations. The ultrasound management course will involve topics that will help you run a successful ultrasound program at your institution. With registration, you will be given access to the recorded lectures for 12 months after the course! Here's the link for more information: https://www.coreultrasound.com/cc_mgmt/ |

The Ultrasound Leadership Academy is an online ultrasound fellowship that is designed to help clinicians learn bedside ultrasound if they hadn’t gotten the training during their residencies. I was honored to be asked to revamp their curriculum as well as being on their board last year. This lecture is a recording of a live lecture that Dr. Claire Heslop gave last month on cardiac ultrasound. After the lecture myself and few of the other ULA professors have a bit of a question and answer session as well.

I recently realized that I don’t really have that much soft tissue content on the website or podcast and decided I needed to do something about that. The basic differentiation between cellulitis and abscess is unlikely to save a life as speedily as identifying cardiac tamponade will, but it is still vitally important. Skin infections are very common, and choosing the appropriate treatment strategy for them is of utmost importance. What WILL save a life is differentiating between a necrotizing soft tissue infection and cellulitis, which I also delve into in this talk. This vodcast was recording during our residency didactics.

Patients with acute pain can be challenging to manage in the ED. This week, I speak with two pain control experts: Dr. Alexis LaPietra and Dr. Katherine Vlasica. They both completed a pain management fellowship at St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in New Jersey. Dr. LaPietra is the founder and creator of the Alternatives to Opiates (ALTO) program and the newly formed Pain Management Section of ACEP. Both are actively involved in a multi-modal approach to pain control in the ED, often including ultrasound-guided nerve blocks. This podcast is the audio version of the interview. If you'd like to see the video of the interview, check out www.coreultrasound.com! If you’re interested in some great online ultrasound education, check out Core Ultrasound Courses.
