For those of you waiting with bated breath:
The Polish language translation of the Manual of Emergency and Critical Care Ultrasound is now available!
The book (by Vicki Noble, Bret Nelson, and Nicholas Sutingco) is now available in English, French, Russian and Polish. It was first published by Cambridge University Press in 2007. The book’s concise focus and many illustrations and images have made it quite popular with physicians worldwide, and additional translations are planned for the future.
On March 7, 2011 the Division of Emergency Ultrasound will host its annual hands-on CME course at Mount Sinai. Targeted at clinicians in emergency and critical care settings, the course consists of presentations by national faculty and plenty of hands-on scanning with live models.
Course highlights:
Both experienced sonographers and neophytes will benefit from small group sizes and an interactive course design.
Additional information is available on the CME Course Page, or download our Brochure.
Registration for the course is open!

Winfocus 2010 at Policlinico Gemelli
WINFOCUS held the 6th world congress on Ultrasound in Emergency and Critical Care at the Policlinico Gemelli in Rome, Italy this year. Sinai was represented by Jim Tsung and Phil Andrus. The excitement included sessions devoted to development of consensus on point of care ultrasound for: vascular access and thoracic ultrasound. There was an also an emphasis on the use of ultrasound in resuscitation – HCMC’s Rob Reardon led a session on integration of ultrasound into Adult resucitation and Sinai’s Jim Tsung led the counterpart Pediatric session. The conference wrapped up with a very interesting research forum and an invitation to the next world congress in New Delhi, India.
Diagnosis?
What trip to Rome would be complete without some b-roll pics to supplement future EUS presentations? A colleague suggested we obtain the following image.
Can you guess the diagnosis?
Finally, our days were long at Gemelli, but we managed to get out a bit. We ate at Pier Luigi the first night. Saw U2 at the stadio olimpico on the second night. On the last day, Jim and I made it to Trastevere to meet up with friends at a Da Carlone for Cacio e Pepe and a Carbonara. Our only sightseeing for the trip was the walk home after dinner the night before we flew back. Arrivaderci, Roma.

The Mount Sinai Division of Emergency Ultrasound was proud to visit Lutheran Medical Center today for a critical care ultrasound workshop. Many thanks to Dr. Bonnie Simmons, Chair of Emergency Medicine and Dr. Gloria Tsan, Director of Medical Student and Resident Education for inviting us and hosting the course.
The course was well-attended by faculty and residents representing Emergency Medicine, Critical Care, Surgery, Cardiology, and other departments. Multi-specialty courses are a fantastic opportunity to share knowledge and common ground among colleagues, and it is a pleasure to work with a group with diverse interests and talents.
Focusing on high-yield topics for acute care, we discussed on algorithms for Rapid Ultrasound in Shock/Hypotension (RUSH) as well as ultrasound for venous access. We look forward to future collaborations!
