Urgent Care/Emergency Room Ultrasound Technology - Friday, May 9, 2025

Forms

Required

Friday, May 9, 2025

9 am - 11 am

Dr. Nicholas Dyc, Medical Director of IEP Urgent Care, will bring an ultrasound machine to CC and perform a live demonstration on students. They will learn about the urgent care and emergency medicine.

Bedside ultrasonography in the Emergency Department can be life-saving. It helps rapidly diagnose major heart attacks that need emergent cardiac catheterization. There are many other applications in the Emergency Department. It can be diagnostic as well as therapeutic.

For instance, ultrasound can diagnose aortic aneurysms at risk of rupturing. Ultrasound can be used to find blood in the abdomen after penetrating or blunt trauma. Ultrasound may be used to provide anesthesia. You may use it to numb broken hips, help with joint reductions, complex lacerations, and more.

Just like learning a sport, ultrasound requires good technique. There’s a proper way to hold the probe and apply it to the body. The technique is learned over years of practice.

We will discuss basic ultrasound knowledge, including some physics, during this lecture. We will discuss probe handling techniques, i.e. how to hold the ultrasound probe. We will discuss the application of ultrasound in the Emergency Department. We plan to broadcast live ultrasound images on the big screen and allow students to practice using the ultrasound machine themselves and on their student colleagues.

If you want to see what your heartbeat or liver or kidneys look like, please join this fun, lively, and interactive session designed to expose and interest you in the awesome ultrasound technology and how it saves lives and eases pain in the Emergency Department.

The workshop will be held in the Learning Commons. Refreshments will be provided.
