Monthly Newsletter- Research Articles
Welcome back to our monthly SPOCUS Focus newsletter, where we hope to disseminate the best sono-centric literature of the past month to our members! This month’s highlights include stating the obvious – most facilities phantom scan in arrests and trauma resuscitation, gasp! over 50% of critical care program directors never assess fellows or faculty for CCUS competency, and using handheld devices for peri-prostatic blocks might make in-office procedures great again? … As a bonus, at the end of this newsletter, please find the top ten most clicked articles of the year!
Please enjoy the links provided below. As always, you can find a list of prior newsletters under the members only section of the SPOCUS.org website.
