Welcome to WesternSono’s newest project, the Ultrasound Podcast! Join us in our conversations around interesting cases and emerging topics in point of care ultrasound. To all those point of care ultrasound enthusiasts out there, tune in and pick up a few pearls!

The diaphragm, lung sliding and that stenotic mitral valve!

Our first episode takes you through the importance of the diaphragm in lung ultrasound, lung sliding pearls and the pitfalls of assessing left ventricular function in the presence of mitral valve stenosis.

Listen in to the conversation between Dr Robert Arntfield, program director of the Critical Care Ultrasound Program at Western University and his three current fellows, Dr Thamer Alaifan, Dr Bader Alshehri and Dr Mathilde Gaudreau-Simard.
