The air is crisp, the leaves are turning, and the days are shorter. Yes it’s fall, but it’s also conference season! The Exo team is ready to leave our hibernation and safely travel to Boston for this year’s ACEP conference. We’re most excited about engaging in long overdue in-person socially distanced conversations and learning (say that 3X fast). What courses are on top of our list, you ask? Well, you came to the right place.

Tuesday, October 26th 12:30-1:20pm EST
Exo's take: There continues to be more and more scenarios where the implementation of ultrasound can be useful in the Emergency Department. Airway management is one of them. We’re looking forward to seeing the latest techniques on how ultrasound can be used in this very common event in the ED.

Procedural Ultrasound
Faculty: Arun Nagdev, MD
Tuesday, October 26th 1:30-2:20pm EST

We can’t wait to hear our Senior Director of Education, Dr. Arun Nagdev, share the importance of procedural ultrasound guidance and demonstrate how to use needle-guided ultrasound for the following procedures:
Central venous catheter placementLocalizing vertebral interspace for lumbar punctureRemoving fluid from the pericardium

Lung Ultrasound in the ED
Faculty: John Michael Bailitz, MD FACEP
Thursday, October 28th 8:30-8:50am EST
Exo's Take: Lung ultrasound - especially in the time of Covid - has become even more important. We’re eager to discover how early implementation of ultrasound helps physicians better manage their patients by identifying cardiac and pulmonary etiologies of dyspnea.
