POCUS ULTRASOUND TRAINING
This month the medics, completed Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) training. This training was taught by Sarah Garner, MD , who has worked as a Physician with Airlift Northwest and as a Resident at the University of Washington. The POCUS device is cutting- edge and will significantly help medics deliver higher quality pre-hospital care to patients in the field. The POCUS has sharp image quality, rapid data processing, Al, advanced imaging tools, user-centric ergonomics, and outstanding scan time. So far, the initial ultrasound training has been completed, and more training will continue through November, with county approval expected to follow, allowing for field use in patient care once the county training is finalized.
