1, 2, 3...Lung Ultrasound is as easy as A, B, Z! Join Kermit, Elmo and the rest of the Sesame Street cast as we cover the appropriate probes, presets and settings needed to perform a successful thoracic ultrasound. What's that Big Bird? I said Z instead of C?! Well that's right! We'll differentiate sponsored letters such as A, B, E and Z-lines and how they can apply to both physiologic and pathologic patient presentations. Lastly, you wont walk away a grouch after you've developed an approach for thoroughly evaluating the lung bases as part of your comprehensive thoracic ultrasound examination. So come join us today on where you can learn something sweet when you get to Sesame Street!
