Workshop Description: Do you get a bit feverish every time you perform a lumbar puncture (LP)? Do you rue the micro lab when they call saying that there isn’t enough urine for both a culture and a urinalysis? Or maybe you just want to make life easier for your patient (and yourself)? If so, join us for a point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) workshop! We will review the evidence for POCUS in the workup of the febrile infant, describe basic ultrasound terminology and introduce POCUS for PIV placement, LP guidance, bladder assessment and suprapubic aspiration (SPA). You will then rotate through 3 hands-on stations to hone your scanning skills: At station 1, practice POCUS-guided PIV placement on phantom models, using in- and out-of-plane approaches. At station 2, identify the bladder in transverse and longitudinal planes, calculate bladder volume and review technique for SPA. At station 3, identify ultrasound landmarks and practice marking technique for safe LP performance, using image review and hands-on models.
