We had a good chance to participate and showcase our systems through the
Ultrasound in Resuscitation workshop with different FFSS US models such as
X-Porte, EDGE II, Edge and S-Series all equipped with 3 different transducers, while
Philips presented for the Focused Echo Workshop with CX60 system.
The workshop targeted physicians from all specialties that treat critically ill patients.
The objective for this workshop as following:
• Discuss the principles of physics as applied to emergency ultrasound and
recognize commonly encountered artifacts and their role in image acquisition.
• Demonstrate skills in image acquisition and interpretation for core areas of
emergency point of care ultrasound (eFAST, Lung and Lower limb venous
scan).
• To provide scanning skills required in maximizing diagnostic ability.
• Discuss the incorporation of bedside ultrasound into the practice of
emergency medicine, critical care and other specialties.
• Integrate the results of their bedside ultrasound into a patient’s clinical
scenario in order to effect treatment or disposition.

THE WORLD’S FIRST
ULTRASOUND KIOSK
KEEPS GETTING BETTER
The X-Porte Ultrasound Kiosk fluidly brings together imaging, advanced
features, and educational resources in a convenient, all-in-one kiosk design.
The system was built from the ground up for your work style and environment.
And we haven’t stopped developing new capabilities for you, all included
within the software maintenance program that comes standard with system
purchase.
Our ability to make almost seamless enhancements to X-Porte stems from the
gesture-driven touch panel that allows the addition of new features and
technologies without control panel redesign and a USB-based software
upgrade system.
Since, its initial release, X-Porte has had:
calculations
curvilinear transducer with a small footprint for MSK and
Nerve applications
to workflow and menu
navigation based on
clinical user feedback

38. Ultrasound Guided Paravertebral Nerve Blocks
On Demand Presentation / Dr. Theresa Bowling will present this webinar
which is designed to teach the participants how to perform an ultrasound
guided thoracic paravertebral single shot nerve block and catheter placement.
The relevant gross and ultrasound anatomy will be discussed and will include
ultrasound video tutorials for needle and catheter placement. Indication and
contraindications for performing this block will be discussed in detail.
Pertinent literature supporting this block for anesthesia and analgesia will be
also be presented. Clinical pearls to help participants perform this block
successfully will round out this webinar on thoracic paravertebral blocks.
Webinar Goals and Objectives: 1. Techniques to perform ultrasound guided
thoracic paravertebral nerve blocks. 2. Anatomy, sonoanatomy, indications,
contraindications, and literature review for TPVB single shot blocks and
catheters 3. Video tutorial of ultrasound imaging of PVB.
Resuscitative Echocardiography:
Visual Assessment and Doppler Measurements
On Demand Presentation / Dr. Robert Arntfield is an Assistant Professor,
Director of Critical Care Ultrasound / Division of Critical Care & Division of
Emergency Medicine, Department of Medicine, Western University London,
Ontario, Canada. Dr. Arntfield will explore case examples to highlight the value
of both basic visual assessments and more sophisticated Doppler techniques
when performing echocardiography to guide resuscitation. Upon the
completion of the webinar, the participant will be able to: 1. Appreciate that a
visual assessment alone can satisfy the majority of important clinical
questions in high-stakes resuscitation. 2. Identify scenarios where a more
quantitative approach using spectral Doppler, may offer an advantage over
visual assessment. 3. Identify commonly referenced quantitative approaches
that confer little additional benefit for the resuscitative echocardiographer.
Starting a Point-of-Care Ultrasound Program
On Demand Presentation / Dr. David Cook is the Director of Emergency
Ultrasound, Roper Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital, Charleston, SC. Point of
Care Ultrasound (POCUS) has been incorporated into multiples of medical
specialties. Beginning a hospital based ultrasound program may encounter
solutions to the initial start up process of beginning an ultrasound training
program.
Diagnostic Shoulder Ultrasound Exam Part 1
On Demand Presentation / Dr. Benjamin DuBois, MD is a board-certified and
fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon who devotes 100% of his practice to
the treatment of shoulder disorders. Dr. DuBois has expert training in shoulder
surgery, and has extensive experience in shoulder replacements, rotator cuff
disorders, and arthroscopic shoulder surgery. He is trained in state of the art
techniques including the reverse ball and socket shoulder replacement and
performs in-office shoulder ultrasound for the immediate diagnosis of rotator
cuff disorders. This Webinar focuses on Diagnostic Shoulder Ultrasound Part
1. Additional information about Dr. Benjamin DuBois can be found on his
