In this episode, Michael Macias and I chat about some barriers and benefits of using ultrasound in community (non or less academic) emergency departments. 

Any place where medicine is practiced should be held to similar standards, and POCUS should be considered standard of care. We discuss a study done at our home institution where we looked at a quite large sample of ultrasounds and various providers to give insight on which exams are common and some potential missed opportunities!

Have you ever wanted to ask an intensive care doc about how they utilize POCUS in their daily practice?  What about a critical care doc who is also emergency medicine and POCUS-fellowship trained?

I got to sit down (in person!) with Dr. Terren Trott, who is a California transplant in Kentucky who has some amazing insights to share with us.  Check it out!

In this episode, I walk you through basic machine operation for the Sonosite Xporte, including selecting the appropriate probe/setting, inputting patient (and your) information, how to record and how to export to review later or store in your institution (please check with your institution on appropriate technique for storing images/clips!)

In the future, we will be publishing more content like this, that should be helpful to all comers.  Please leave a comment if there’s a specific machine you’d like me to work on next!

I'm so happy to finally be able to sit down with Dr. Michael Macias and discuss a few things that I've been meaning to ask him. Mike graduated from an ultrasound fellowship and then begin working as a community-based physician where he became the Ultrasound Director for Emergent Medical Associates, as well as the UHS Southern California Residency Consortium, he is the Assistant Emergency Department Director AND is the founder of the POCUS Atlas.  It was impossible to fit in everything that I wanted to talk with him about in one episode!

Please enjoy this first part of my interview with Dr. Macias where we discuss: How to use ultrasound in a community based-setting to place transvenous pacers, how to use right heart ultrasound effectively in both confirmed and suspected PE as well as fracture management.
