Point of Care Ultrasound continues to assist in the medical practice in a number of ways. Not only does POCUS allow for better imaging and diagnosis from the start, but the ability for imaging to continue to take place during and after a procedure is crucial to patient outcomes. Maverick Medical Education sees application for POCUS in numerous ways and urges all medical practitioners to become familiar with how this technology can benefit patients in all fields. POCUS can help significantly with identifying and treating a fairly common clinical presentation, shoulder dislocation.

Avoid These Common Femoral Nerve Block Errors

By |2022-08-30T20:12:16+00:00November 24, 2020|Course Information, Pain Management, Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS)|

In an ongoing attempt by Maverick Medical Education to partner with and train medical providers across the country on pain management techniques, our team has learned about what works, what doesn’t, and everything in between. By diligent practice and research, we can help reduce the number of opioids prescribed to patients by utilizing alternative methods for pain reduction. Occasionally, there are adjustments to be made in very common blocks, like the femoral nerve block, that will make everyone more effective.

Ultrasound-Guided Treatment: Accuracy and Reliability

By |2022-08-30T20:14:10+00:00November 16, 2020|Course Information, Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS)|

Ultrasound can be used for far more than looking inside the patient to see what is taking place at a specific time. Using point of care ultrasound, or POCUS, allows for an adaptive view of how a patient is progressing or for guiding treatments the patient needs. With this additional view, treatments and procedures are becoming safer, more accurate, and very reliable.

Point of Care Ultrasound in Pediatric Emergency Medicine

By |2022-08-30T20:35:56+00:00June 30, 2020|Course Information, Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS)|

Point of care ultrasound, or POCUS, is emerging as a more and more beneficial tool with the number of applications that can be used to diagnose and treat patients effectively, something Maverick Medical Education is passionate about. Of particular interest is the ways POCUS performs in regards to pediatric medicine, particularly in emergency settings. Overall, ultrasound waves are safer for children by reducing their exposure to radiation from other imaging options. Additionally, the resolution can be tweaked and adjusted for the developmental age of the child at the bedside. Further, there are specific cases where POCUS can assist medical professionals in the patients they meet.

Death of the Stethoscope

By |2022-08-31T21:31:40+00:00March 18, 2020|Course Information, Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS)|

The stethoscope is such a normalized piece of equipment, it is constantly associated with the medical field. Doctors, nurses, physician assistants, and even dress up sets are rarely seen without a stethoscope slung around the neck or tucked away in a pocket. The stethoscope wasn’t always a part of routine medical examinations, however, and the use of this equipment revolutionized the field and care of patients. Just as the stethoscope altered medicine in the early 1800s, so too is point of care ultrasound, or POCUS. Ultrasound technology is being fine tuned and used in various medical settings, changing much about diagnostic and management in patient care.
