Dr. Adaira Landry and Dr. Resa Lewiss, authors and ultrasound experts, discuss their book Microskills and share insights on writing, mentorship, and career development. They explore the value of time, addressing inequalities, personal growth, and creating a playbook of wisdom based on their experiences in emergency medicine and academia.

The GEL Jr. team is back and they have a bone to pick. What's the deal with using ultrasound for forearm fractures in kids? They examine a recent article on this topic from the New England Journal of Medicine. https://www.ultrasoundgel.org/156 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37256975/

In September 2023, the GEL crew traveled to Portland, Maine to do some on-the-street reporting at the annual conference for the Society of Clinical Ultrasound Fellowships (SCUF).  What evolved was a series of incredible mini-interviews focusing on the different paths to ultrasound and the exciting new frontiers of ultrasound technology. This is Part 2 of 2. https://www.ultrasoundgel.org/155https://www.awakeandawarebend.com/a/2147793147/QULTuhF9

Have you been PENG attention? This block is everywhere! In this episode, we talk about the preliminary data for the PEricapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block used for analgesia of acute hip fractures in the emergency department. https://www.ultrasoundgel.org/153 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35652877/

Podcast discusses the role of femoral vein doppler in acute heart failure patients, variability of ultrasound training in Spain, using the common femoral vein as a substitute for Vexus, investigating the role of bexos and the common femoral vein in pulmonary embolism, and exploring the potential of a pulmonary embolism ultrasound response team.

The podcast explores the role of artificial intelligence in clinical ultrasound, including its accuracy in hemodynamic measurements and quality assessment of ultrasound images. It discusses a study comparing handheld and cart-based ultrasound machines for assessing left ventricular ejection fraction. The hosts also examine the ethical implications and privacy concerns of AI-driven diagnostic landscape in ultrasound.

Celebrating their 150th episode, the podcast delves into using ultrasound for diagnosing acute heart failure and emphasizing its significance in assessing patients with acute dyspnea. They explore the superior sensitivity of lung ultrasound, discuss a case with intriguing lung abnormalities leading to a surprising diagnosis, and highlight the critical role of ultrasound in evaluating left ventricle function, heart valve abnormalities, and diastolic dysfunction in heart failure patients.

Another author-focused Bonus Cuts episode with Zack and Mike joined by the one and only Rob Farrow! Rob represents the research team behind the recently discussed US-guided trigger point article. Discussion ensues regarding the methodology, procedural pearls, and a strained Bob Dylan reference. https://www.ultrasoundgel.org/149

Another cutting edge topic! These insatiable investigators propose to use doppler waveforms from the common femoral vein as a marker of right heart dysfunction in heart failure patients. Novel? Certainly. Useful? We shall see! https://www.ultrasoundgel.org/148 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37088380/
