Previous Episode: Why We Shouldn’t Call Our Ultrasound “Informal”

Next Episode: Mike Prats and Jacob Avila talk about their approach to sonographic evaluation of a patient with suspected heart failure.

The RUSH exam has been around for at least 13 years, and it’s time for a review from one of the innovators who first coined the phrase “Rapid Ultrasound in Shock and Hypotension”. Scott has the perspective of a resuscitationist who uses ultrasound, and needs this exam to be as efficient as possible. Listen to the podcast to hear his thoughts. Caution: If you’re listening with children, this episode has a bit of strong language. *A couple of clarifications: During the podcast I mentioned that I’ve done a bunch of research on DVT. I’ve done absolutely no clinical or laboratory research on DVT’s, but I’ve definitely read a bunch of articles. Also, during the podcast I mentioned a systematic review/meta-analysis that shows that when a DVT is found in a patient in whom there is suspicion of PE, the +LR was 16.2. Here’s the pubmed ID: 16052017). Also, if you’re unfamiliar of the LLS score, check out this link. Interested in an online ultrasound fellowship? Check out the Ultrasound Leadership Academy!
