Hey all. So i’m doing an away sub-I right now (my first after my home which didn’t see much cool stuff), and while it’s going very well thus far, i’ve noticed a clear gap in my own knowledge when it comes to ultrasound and various procedures (LPs, arthrocentesis, a lines, etc.). Like with ultrasound I guess my school never taught a damn thing because half the time a resident points a structure out and says “oh that’s the patellar tendon” or something I don’t even know what they’re looking at because it all looks the same, and I need to improve asap. It’s just not something I was ever exposed much to and it’s obviously extremely important in EM, so I’m making it my goal to get semi competent asap.
So my question for y’all is, what are the best online resources for learning ultrasound from scratch? I’d even be willing to pay for something good that can walk me through basic technique and the anatomy of commonly encountered things in EM (FAST exam, joints, lung, etc.). That’s really what I’m looking for.
I’d also like some resources for learning the proper steps and techniques for common EM procedures. I’m sure most will say to just youtube or whatever but I’m wondering if there are better more organized resources out there. Thanks everyone!
