And of course if you are a Doctor, Paramedic, or advanced practice nurse working in austere or resource limited environments and wanting to upskill or refine your POCUS skills
There's only a few spots left but we'd love to have you!

Physical Exam Versus Exam + POCUS for diagnostic accuracy in shoulder dislocation:
Dx dislocation: Exam 65%, POCUS 100%
Detect prox humeral fractures: Exam 45.7%, POCUS 98.3% (POCUS has LR+=103.9 and LR-=0.03)
Confirm Reduction: Exam 68.7%, POCUS 100%

Excited to be speaking about Prehospital POCUS at @2021Iaem (Irish Assoc. of Emergency Medicine Annual Conference) tomorrow in the PHEM session
Also @HawkmoonHEMS on PreHosp Tech and @markhwilson on @GoodSamApp
Crazy to think I was last there in person at IAEM18 in Dublin

TL;DR
Prehospital POCUS can 100% be used to diagnose paediatric forearm fractures, but we don’t have the evidence to support whether it’s safe to perform regional anaesthesia on distal limb fractures in Paeds prehospitally yet.
The PoCUS Course retweeted
So
POCUS absolutely has a role in diagnosing Paeds Forearm fractures
And there’s been some excellent work by @PEM_Ultrasound and many others on this.
I’m not sure haematoma blocks or regional distal limb blocks in kids outside of hospital is ready for prime time yet 1/

Well deserved. A great team. So encouraging!! Great confidence building whilst maintaining a realisation of limitations. I would recommend course to anyone with an interest.

Learning #POCUS is hard!
In this 2015 study, expertise in pneumothorax, DVT and
abscess was achieved within 60-150 scans, but other modalities might take longer ...

Great learning something different today on the @ThePoCUSCourse and met @Aidan_Baron! Great to get hands on with ultrasound and understand when and how to use it in prehospital trauma #alwayslearning #cpd #POCUS

Morison's Pouch has gotten too much attention. Watch this video clip. This is why you never call a right upper quadrant FAST Exam view negative unless you've seen the liver tip!
