the most helpful Transvaginal scanning ever! what a lifesaver !!! I constantly lose the uterus and this is an exam that was never thought in school! so all your tips and tricks are exceptional!!! thank you for sharing all of your knowledge
Thanks Amy - really appreciate the feedback. Ultrasound is hard to teach online as it really is something you need to practically develop skills in - but we do our best:) Was there anything in particular that was particularly enlightening?
I would like you traductacion to Spanish live but I still thank you because I am just taking the ultrasound course and it did make it difficult for me to detect a flexed retroverse uterus. But with these tips I am going to put them into practice.
Thank you so much Quaser - we really appreciate you taking the time to let us know. Where are you working and in what clinical context? Which bit of the presentation helped the most?
Thank You so very much. Starting this section of my clinicals and needed a refresher course. In class we used a phantom and it so happened that the student I was shadowing just days ago, had to readjust the probe because she couldn't see anything, turns out that she was too deep and was seeing bowel gas. Once she readjusted, everything came into view. I appreciate the tip about inserting the probe slowing while watching the monitor.
Hi Fatinhusna If you were to turn the probe to the 3 o'clock position rather than the 9 o'clock position, your left and right will be opposite. That is, on the screen the patient's right will be on the right of scree, the patient's left will be on the left of screen, because your probe marker and screen marker will be flipped, and any movements will be in the opposite direction (assuming your probe marker is in the traditional position top left of screen). Hope that makes sense? Let me know. Suean
Hi Maryann Not being sexually active would be a contra-indication for the performance of a transvaginal ultrasound, but in some cases performing one may be necessary. I can't imagine it would be a comfortable experience, making it absolutely imperative that clear communication and informed consent is maintained at all times.
Thank you Hazel - glad we could help 😀 What did you find most useful specifically? We’re planning more topics at the moment so let us know. What medical specialty are you practicing in and where?
Excellent presentation and every query in my mind was discussed and it helped me alot. And in the end i enjoyed the funny part of doing Tvs with gloves on the probe..... Hahaha . We also use gloves btw.
I am from Pakistan.... I m a gynecologist and have done my specialization... Here in periphery we dont have expert sonologists so all the job is done by gyne doctors herself.... Initially when i started doing TVS i wud enter the probe and get lost although i had watched alot many videos.... But just after ur video i attempted and successfully viewed the uterus and ovaries and believe me i literally wanted to hug u for this helpful video.... Thankyou so much for the sincere efforts.
Thank you so much Saima - that is fantastic. Ultrasound is not a simple imaging modality so I've made it my goal to take a step-by-step approach to make things as methodical as possible. I've spent a great deal of time refining the way I teach - particularly after covid forced remote teaching on us (instead of face-to-face). It is very difficult to communicate a hands-on skill like ultrasound without having the ability to touch the probe, but I think I'm getting there! Your story has really made my day! :) Keep up the good work.
Your videos are a great resource before going into rotations - I’m currently about to go into my ob/gyn rotation , but I’ve used your other videos very much as well I saw on some of the other comments that you asked for specifics on why your videos are great / how to improve . So from an EM physicians perspective: They are great because - step by step without too much jargon for us non-radiologists - Very good slides especially with explanation of orientation and with a good amount of tips and tricks to optimise views / make it comfortable for the patient - moving pictures and examples of everything you talk about , with good 2D drawings before moving into the actual ultrasound views Not many free resources with such an high quality . Thank you !! Minor suggestions for even better videos: - case-based learning at the end of some of your videos are great , and this could easily be longer - graphics on LR+/- and IRR and/ or how long it takes to learn if data exists (ie like PocusATLAS’ evidence page). Especially data on clinicians Vs radiologists (when to get the radiologist to do it and when we can do it with practise) Thanks again !!!
Hi Peter Thank you so much for taking the time and making the effort to send through such amazing feedback - I (Suean) really appreciate it. I have made it my life goal to make ultrasound less jargony and complex, which is not a simple task! I've also got a passion to not cause death by PowerPoint, so I try and convey information that's relevant - as opposed to overwhelming people by throwing as much into a slide that fits. I'm glad you like it. It's great to hear you have found these POCUS videos valuable pre-rotation - that had never occurred to me. Have they helped you out in a clinical situation? Be sure to spread the word to others :) Re improvements - I couldn't agree more. Where I can I try and include stats from research - but often time and access gets in the way. Re more cases - this is what the Coaching Corner was desigend for, and I encourage people to bring their own images/experiences along. Again - spread the word - the more the merrier. Thanks again for the comments - truly appreciate them Suean
@@zedunow I'm an clinical educator myself, and always appreciate any feedback myself, so I'm glad if I can be at the providing end this time :) I hope it's helpful! It shows, that you have thought about the language and presentation and not making the powerpoint a "slidument" (as Ross Fischer, powerpoint-guru in EM would call it, when it's just bullitpoints)! Highly appreciated! Re clinical situations: Currently at the hospital I work at (scandinavian capital hospital), we have a great ultrasound program and are trying to implement POCUS to most areas where it benefits the patient and is attainable. As part of this program I teach new doctors about the probabilistics and when (and when not) to use it. I usually have a couple of resources that I highly recommend - For short overview videos (5-10 min): VanPOCUS (LITFL) and 5minsono / coreultrasound and EmCases POCUS videos - For a bit more in depth videos (>30 min): Your videos , POCUS101 blogs / videos and MetroHealth Emergency Ultrasound page - Very in depth: Utah POCUS videos - For emergency medicine cases: LITFL POCUS case library - Pic library and evidence: UltrasoundGel podcast / blogs and PocusAtlas evidence page and pic page + books (i.e the canadian EDE book and other more in depth resources) You may know a lot of them, but as you are part of educators with a passion for delivering good ultrasound education, I just wanted to show these in case you may find some of them inspirational Clinically I have had great help from your videos to help me make important core concepts stick. One example of the top of my head is scrotal pocus: how to adjust gain (and scale) to see what you need to see. I use this every day. So thank you! :)
Hi Peter - apologies for the slow response it has been a hectic few weeks! Ross is a dear friend and a constant source of inspiration for improving presentations - awesome that you made the link independently- no more death by PowerPoint! Very familiar with the listed sites - again the people behind these have become personal friends over the years - it’s a small community 😎 Our website has a great collection of resources (including those you list) at www.ultrasoundtraining.com.au/resources/
@@zedunow I can very much relate - no worries! :) Hope you found more stable times! Ross is awesome! Had the pleasure to share a curry with him at a course in Manchester, UK a couple of years back. It's a small world and just as the ultrasound education community seems to be small, so it sometimes seems as well with our emergency medicine FOAMed community I thought you probably knew most or all of them :P Thank you so much for the homepage - another great one for the collection to give to our students Keep up the great work! and thank you for it! All the best Peter, EM resident
Thank you for your amazing feedback. Where are you working/based? What aspect of the recording did you find most useful? Are you training others? If you are please join our POCUS educators support network on Facebook - we'd love to see you there facebook.com/groups/2320595437975758
Thank you Sandhya - I'm happy it could help. Sometimes training becomes too bogged down in the theory - and as a teacher and student that bores me so I focus on trying to simplify and make things as practical as possible. I haven't developed material on 3D/4D applications - what are you using these modalitites for? If you are training others please join our POCUS educators support network on Facebook - we'd love to see you there facebook.com/groups/2320595437975758
