Lung Ultrasound Made Easy - Point of Care Technique Online
 

TAKE YOUR CLINICAL SKILLS TO THE NEXT LEVEL - FAST & ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS AT THE BEDSIDE THAT "PRACTICALLY FEELS LIKE CHEATING." 

Lung Ultrasound (LUS) is becoming a critical skill for clinicians of all levels.  LUS has proven to be useful in a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions.  As a result, It is rapidly gaining popularity across many different medical specialties.

Lung Ultrasound is relatively easy to learn, quick to perform at the bedside, and outperforms the accuracy of a chest X-ray for most lung conditions…

In fact, LUS rivals the accuracy of CT imaging for acute respiratory failure - without the radiation.  Therefore, LUS can safely be utilized in all patient populations (including pediatrics and pregnancy), both inpatient and outpatient.

    This course presented good, concise information in a way that anyone with basic medical knowledge could understand. I especially appreciated that the quizzes for each video had immediate feedback, and reasoning for both why an answer was wrong if selected incorrectly, or why an answer was correct when selected correctly.

    ANDREW YOCUM

    Amazing course. As a practicing EM physician a few years out of residency this course will improve my usage of lung ultrasound drastically. Dr Jacquet really walks you through step by step how to preform and how to analyze the lung US. Well done. Highly recommend.
