“When something is visualized, the truth of its occurrence or existence can no longer be doubted – Seeing is Believing”. This proverb has particular meaning when it comes point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS); diagnostic confidence increases in 89.2% when general practitioners add POCUS to patient evaluation! Ever struggle with trying to diagnose the cause of dyspnea in a cat that is too unstable to take radiographs (asthma vs. pleural effusion vs. heart disease)? Ever debate if you can safely give a patient IV fluids or when you should stop giving IV fluid boluses? Or why a patient presents for “ain’t doing right”? POCUS can help you manage these patients! POCUS techniques are rapid, easy-to-learn and practical ultrasound skills that ANY practitioner can apply in everyday practice. In this hands on lab you will learn techniques that will help you with your diagnostic and treatment decisions on a daily basis.
1. Point-of-care-pleural space and lung ultrasound (PLUS)
Describe the key anatomic structures that are essential to performing pleural space and lung ultrasound
Identify the pleural line and determine the presence or absence of a glide sign
Perform the key components of the PLUS exam, including 1) identification of the curtain sign 2) locating the caudal dorsal site using sonographic lung borders, 3) performing an “S” shape multi-regional lung scan 4) identification of the pericardial diaphragmatic window and 5) locating the ventral pleural and lung borders.
2. Point-of-care-abdominal ultrasound
Describe the key organs and anatomic locations required to perform abdominal point of care ultrasound
Perform the abdominal point of care ultrasound demonstrating the 5 sites evaluated, the key organs assessed at each site and the key binary questions to answer at each location.
3. Point-of-care-cardiovascular ultrasound
Describe the 3 key cardiac windows when performing cardiac POCUS
Perform cardiac POCUS identifying the key right parasternal short axis windows (mushroom, fish mouth and whale) and the 4 chamber right parasternal long axis widow.
Use ultrasound to guide IV catheters into phantom vessels using both in and out of plane techniques
