Surgery In the Dirt

Surgery In the Dirt 

 

In Iraq in 2007 five hundred pounds of explosives detonated beneath Combat Medic Greg Dotson’s Bradley Fighting Vehicle. His unit soldiers, trained by Greg, pulled him and his medic bag from the wreck and began work. While a furious firefight was going on around them, they applied tourniquets high on his shredded legs, slid a breathing tube down his nose and throat and got a field dressing secured tightly around the shrapnel wounds in his abdomen. They tried to start an IV, but his veins were flat. Splints were taped to his legs and they strapped his 6”6” frame to a stretcher and a Blackhawk medevac helicopter picked him up. Minutes later he was on the operating room table at the closest U.S. air base.

 

Welcome to RSNA 2019: See Possibilities – Together

 

Last week was busy and cold as AHEC representatives joined thousands of attendees from around the world in Chicago at RSNA-the 105th Scientific Assembly and annual meeting.  As usual it was a challenge to get up from our Thanksgiving dinners and board a plane to Chicago but as so many people have done before, we soldiered on!  This year was filled with new information about Artificial Intelligence in Radiology and the new technology that is already available or will be shortly.

 

To put it into perspective just how large this meeting is, our humble 4 joined 50,000 attendees and 700 vendors!  With 400 educational courses and 3 huge exhibit halls to conquer we were up for the challenge.



Education for those who expect more!

Private Ultrasound Tutorial = Convenience!

Since the first ultrasound class in 1993, AHEC has been teaching what physicians want to learn to benefit their patients and their practice.

 

If you can’t make a scheduled class or want to customize your training, then a Private Ultrasound Tutorial is right up your alley!  We can design courses according to your practice requirements and/or skill level. To see what upcoming dates are available for 2020.

Ultrasound Tip of the Month

Role of ultrasound in placental evaluation 

The placenta may be visualized as early as 6 weeks by transvaginal sonography and 10 weeks transabdominally. It first appears as a focally thickened hyperechogenic rim of tissue around the gestational sac that is clearly separate from the myometrium. It is quite distinct and easily identifiable at 14 to 15 weeks and the intervillous blood flow may be documented using color Doppler. Source
