EVENT OUTLINE

Join us for our first EMUG Western Australia Regional Meeting for 2019 with the highly anticipated topic:

Procedural Ultrasound

This event will commence with a clinical leaders meeting followed by nibbles during registration. We encourage Clinical Leads in ultrasound to attend the CLM. This includes FACEMs, Senior Advanced Trainees and Medical Officers who have an active role in progressing Ultrasound in the ED.

We will be discussing the ACEM steriliastion policy and well as recommendations from ASUM. Michael Bogseth with discuss a 'probe cover'audit he has recently carried out. This will be followed by an open discussion with a focus on probe covers and differences in departmental sterilisaion policies.

Following this, there will include a hands-on procedural ultrasound workshop where participants will learn in small groups. We aim to target a broad spectrum of health professionals. Although our priority is to cater for Emergency Doctors, including trainees, we encourage all health staff whom Point of Care ultrasound is relevant to their practice to come along. This includes encouraging our sonographer colleagues some of whom may venture into the POCUS field of practice as a future 'SEED'. 

EMUGs events are a fantastic networking opportunity and include an opportunity for you to meet other POCUS enthusiasts in a friendly and casual networking environment. 

Nibbles and Networking: A light meal will be included (1830-1900)

Procedural Ultrasound Lecture and Workshop (Commences 1900)

The procedural workshop at this event will focus on teaching procedures in the emergency department using ultrasound guidance, specifically ultrasound guided vascular access. We will focus on out-of-plane technique for IV access and in-of-plane technique for common nerve blocks. We will be giving a short introductory lecture followed 2 rotations of 45 minutes at 2 stations focusing on out or in plane techniques with a 15 minute introduction of anatomy and technique followed by 30 minutes of hands on scanning. It will be taught by industry leaders and allow the opportunity for networking and discussion to answers any questions you may have.
