Discussion on Orbital Cellulitis and Ocular Ultrasound

The podcast highlighted a case report on Orbital cellulitis where ocular ultrasound was utilized to make the diagnosis. The case presented interesting findings using ultrasound not easily detectable through visual examination alone. The discussion emphasized the potential for further research in this area to expand on the insights gained.

Ultrasound Use and LV Function in Cardiac Arrest

Ultrasound in cardiac arrest is a favorite topic of the GEL Team and thus, we are back to crack open a radical new concept in the field. Does the left ventricular function actually matter in patients that are arresting?? Current practice for many is to assess for the binary presence or absence of cardiac activity, but these audacious authors suggest that a higher LV systolic function could be associated with a greater likelihood of return of spontaneous circulation!
