March 2018 (Abdominal Ultrasound)
For the month of March we are going to be doing ultrasound small groups where we will be concentrating on abdominal ultrasound. The hope is after your two hours of small group you will all have a solid foundation on how to perform and interpret the following ultrasound exams:
Aorta - Assessment for AAA
Renal - Assessment for stone or outlet obstruction
Gallbladder - Assessment for acute cholecystitis and biliary obstruction
Appendix - Assessment for appendicitis
Adult Bowel - Assessment for hernia and obstruction
Below are some good resources pertaining to these exams. Please review what you can in preparation for the days activities.
