FELINE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 _______________________________________ BEGINNING ULTRASOUND IN THE ER/GP TRENCHES - PART 1 Thomas Hansen, DVM, DABVP (Canine and Feline Practice) 5:00 PM - 5:50 PM | Hemisfair Ballroom 3 Ultrasound plays an invaluable role in case management, from the initial assessment of an emergent patient, to further exploration of clinical and laboratory abnormalities, to in some cases providing a definitive diagnosis. This modality can be somewhat intimidating at first and a learning curve does exist. This has been especially true during the pandemic years when the availability of radiologists, sonographers, case referral and training opportunities have all been limited. This lecture, the first in a 3-part series, will provide an introduction to how to operate the machine, understand the use of common controls and learn indications for ultrasound. It is ideal for the beginning sonographer working in the ER or GP trenches, but those with experience may find it valuable as a refresher. BEGINNING ULTRASOUND IN THE ER/GP TRENCHES - PART 2 Thomas Hansen, DVM, DABVP (Canine and Feline Practice) 6:00 PM - 6:50 PM | Hemisfair Ballroom 3 Ultrasound plays an invaluable role in case management, from the initial assessment of an emergent patient, to further exploration of clinical and laboratory abnormalities, to in some cases providing a definitive diagnosis. This modality can be somewhat intimidating at first and a learning curve does exist. This has been especially true during the pandemic years when the availability of radiologists, sonographers, case referral and training opportunities have all been limited. This lecture, the 2nd in a 3-part series, will discuss how to start obtaining actionable diagnostic information with ultrasound, even as a beginning sonographer. The focus will be on applications in the emergent patient as well as those with urinary and/or renal disease. It is ideal for the beginning sonographer working in the ER or GP trenches, but those with experience may find it valuable as a refresher. BEGINNING ULTRASOUND IN THE ER/GP TRENCHES - PART 3 Thomas Hansen, DVM, DABVP (Canine and Feline Practice) 7:00 PM - 7:50 PM | Hemisfair Ballroom 3 Ultrasound plays an invaluable role in case management, from the initial assessment of an emergent patient, to further exploration of clinical and laboratory abnormalities, to in some cases providing a definitive diagnosis. This modality can be somewhat intimidating at first and a learning curve does exist. This has been especially true during the pandemic years when the availability of radiologists, sonographers, case referral and training opportunities have all been limited. This lecture, the 3rd in a 3-part series, will conclude our discussion with case-based examples. It is ideal for the beginning sonographer working in the ER or GP trenches, but those with experience may find it valuable as a refresher.
