Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) use has become ubiquitous in the field of anesthesiology. However, POCUS training curriculum in anesthesiology residencies vary widely. We performed a survey study to better understand the structure of existing POCUS training and identify barriers to instituting a POCUS curriculum for anesthesiology trainees.

Reirradiation Special Medical Physics Consultations: Lessons Learned from Nearly 3000 Courses of Treatment.
Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys

Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Introduction: Reirradiation (reRT) has become increasingly prevalent due to an aging population and advancements in cancer detection and treatment. However, the field is still lacking standardized dosimetric evaluation methods and reRT workflows, which leads to difficulty in correlating clinical outcomes with delivered dose. This study reports on the implementation and evolution of a standardized reRT workflow in the Department of Radiation Oncology at [redacted], describing insights gained from nearly 3000 external beam reirradiation courses delivered since 2017.

When the etiology of arrest is unclear, particularly without clear signs of life-threatening trauma, standard basic and advanced cardiac life support (BCLS/ACLS) treatments for medical cardiac arrest is appropriate. Traumatic circulatory arrest may result from massive hemorrhage, airway obstruction, obstructive shock, respiratory disturbances, cardiogenic causes or massive head trauma.

Purpose Of Review: Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is a potentially curable condition characterized by the thickening, scarring, and calcification of the pericardium. A comprehensive approach, including clinical evaluations and imaging techniques such as echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, is essential for timely diagnosis and intervention to prevent chronic complications and enhance patient outcomes. However, the rarity of CP and the specialized expertise required present challenges in diagnosis.

Background: While advancements in pharmacologic and device therapies have improved survival, one in five adults with heart failure (HF) patients is readmitted within 30 days of discharge. Thus, the epidemic of HF is largely one of increasing hospitalizations.
Objective: To determine if a comprehensive HF program reduces 30-day readmission rate.
Background: Due to its diagnostic accuracy, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is becoming more frequently used in the emergency department (ED), but the feasibility of its use by in-training residents and the potential clinical impact have not been assessed.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the feasibility of implementing a structured POCUS training program for in-training ED residents, as well as the clinical impact of their use of POCUS in the management of patients in the ED.
Methods: IMPULSE (Impact of a Point-of Care Ultrasound Examination) is a before-and-after implementation study evaluating the impact of a structured POCUS training program for ED residents on the management of patients admitted with acute respiratory failure (ARF) and/or circulatory failure (ACF) in a Swiss regional hospital.
