Dr Cortellini, lecturer in emergency and critical care here at the RVC, returns to the pod to talk about the use of ultrasound in the ER. Whether you call it Point Of Care UltraSound (POCUS) or focus assessment with sonography for trauma/triage (FAST) we hope that you enjoy the discussion.

Here are some links to papers about using these techniques (there are many)
