Bret Nelson recently filmed a webinar on critical care ultrasound at Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute in Florida. He discussed evaluation of the hypotensive patient, incorporating Scott Weingart’s RUSH exam as well as other literature on acute assessment of the heart, IVC, FAST exam, and pleura.
Information on the webinar is available at Gulfcoast.
