Paradigm Shifts in Bedside Ultrasound – Transcript

In this installment, Elaine Situ-LaCasse, MD provides an overview of bedside ultrasound in the ED, both as a teaching and diagnostic tool. Dr. LaCasses presents three paradigm shifts for bedside ultrasound:

1. Ultrasound training and education should be accessible to all medical professionals.
2. We need better tools for teaching ultrasound
3. There should be simplification and integration of complex concepts regarding cardiac ultrasound, so that all emergency physicians can perform bedside echocardiography on chest pains and syncope patients.
