In this episode, we discuss a rule out test for cardiac tamponade using IVC distensibility, compare the IVC to the aorta, and discuss a strange new finding that we named the Lava Lamp sign!
Tune in to listen to the discussion between Dr Robert Arntfield, Dr Marc-André Blier, Dr Bader Alshehry, and Dr Mathilde Gaudreau-Simard.

We have another great episode for you guys! Today we discuss the role of DVT studies in different medical specialties. We then move on to discuss a humbling moment in point-of-care echocardiography which highlights the different roles of POCUS on the one hand and comprehensive cardiac echocardiography on the other. Finally, we have an innovative surprise for you, an unusual assessment of the kidney with point-of-care TEE!
Tune in to listen to the discussion between Dr Robert Arntfield, Dr Jason Lam, Dr Melanie Lemay, Dr Mathilde Gaudreau-Simard and for his last appearance on the show our outgoing CCUS fellow, Dr. Thamer Alaifan

In this episode, we start by taking you through our take on the role of point of care TEE for prosthetic valves. We then discuss a case where looking beyond the pleura was important in identifying large volume ascites causing restriction of diaphragmatic excursion. Finally we touch on transcranial doppler and the pulsatility index. Tune in to listen to the discussion between Dr Robert Arntfield, Dr. Thamer Alaifan, Dr Mathilde Gaudreau-Simard and Dr Jag Brar.

In this episode, we start by discussing the incidental finding of hyperechoic spots in the liver, which we conclude to represent air in the portal system in this patient in septic shock. Then, we move on to the lung with the age old debate of atelectasis vs pneumonia. Finally, we touch on a more advanced application in cardiac ultrasound that is helpful in distinguishing between hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic B-lines; E/e’ to estimate left atrial pressure (LAP).

LAP helps differentiate B-lines caused by hydrostatic pulmonary edema versus inflammatory/infectious causes of B-line.
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!
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.
