Book Videos

On page xvii of the book, “Point of Care Ultrasound for Emergency Physicians” (aka the EDE book), we refer to an Online Video List which is available on the EDE 2 website. These are the videos. Please refer to the book for further explanation.

Aortic EDE-1

Pushing with the probe to collapse the IVC

Aortic EDE-2

Normal and complete scan of the aorta

Cardiac EDE-1

A complete sweep of a normal heart in the subxiphoid view

Cardiac EDE-2

A pericardial effusion and an epicardial fat pad are both seen in this video

Abdominal EDE

A complete sweep of a normal hepatorenal interface

Obstetrical EDE-1

An example of a live intrauterine pregnancy seen in the longitudinal plane with a curved array probe. Note the decidual reaction, gestational sac, and fetal pole with fetal cardiac activity. An indistinct yolk sac is seen at the 9 o’clock position. The amnion is also visible.

Gallbladder EDE

The WES sign

Renal/Bladder EDE-1

Paul Olszynski and Quinten Paterson present Student's Corner for Renal EDE.

Renal/Bladder EDE-2

A right ureteric jet is demonstrated.

Renal/Bladder EDE-3

Ureteric jet with color Doppler

IVC EDE-1

The IVC collapses minimally. This is a negative scan.

IVC EDE-2

The IVC diameter collapses by more than half with normal inspiration. This patient is more likely to benefit from IV fluids.

Advanced Cardiac EDE-1

An example of normal left ventricular systolic function as seen in the parasternal long view. Note the normal fractional shortening, left ventricular diameter, and the “septal slap”.

Advanced Cardiac EDE-2

An example of normal left ventricular systolic function as seen in the apical 4 chamber view. Note the normal fractional shortening, left ventricular diameter, and the “septal slap”.

Advanced Cardiac EDE-3

This patient with viral myocarditis has impaired left ventricular systolic function. Fractional shortening, left ventricular diameter, and the septal slap are all abnormal. Note that an adequate parasternal long view has been obtained with a curved array probe.

Advanced Cardiac EDE-4

In this patient with hypovolemic shock, the left ventricle is beating vigorously. There is a relatively small amount of blood in the left ventricle which all but disappears with each contraction.

Advanced Cardiac EDE-5

In this patient with right ventricular strain due to a large pulmonary embolus, the right ventricular chamber is larger than the left ventricular chamber. In fact, the left ventricle is relatively empty and hyperdynamic with thickened walls. The walls of the right ventricle are not contracting.

Advanced Cardiac EDE-6

Paul Olszynski and Donna Fan present Student's Corner on right ventricular strain and the use of EDE.

Thoracic EDE-1

An example of normal lung sliding

Thoracic EDE-2

Lung sliding is absent in this patient with a pneumothorax.

Thoracic EDE-3

A lung point comes and goes as this patient with a small pneumothorax breathes.

Thoracic EDE-4

Paul Olszynski and Jordon Steeg present Student's Corner on pneumothorax and its appearance on EDE.

Thoracic EDE-5

The cardiac lung point is a normal finding.

Thoracic EDE-6

The liver lung point is a normal finding.

Thoracic EDE-7

In this patient with a right mainstem intubation, the beating heart is creating movement along the pleural line.

Thoracic EDE-8

Multiple B lines are seen in this patient with pulmonary edema from congestive heart failure.

Procedural EDE

A pericardiocentesis is being performed using real-time technique.

DVT EDE-1

Sliding proximally in the groin to the starting point

DVT EDE-2

Normal branching of the femoral vein when sliding from proximal to distal in the right groin

DVT EDE-3

A scan of a normal right groin demonstrating branching of the femoral vein

DVT EDE-4

A complete scan of the popliteal region in a patient without a DVT

DVT EDE-5

A popliteal DVT: the vein is noncompressible and contains echogenic clot.

Joint Effusion EDE-1

An animation of an ankle arthrocentesis being performed

Joint Effusion EDE-2

An ankle arthrocentesis being performed

Joint Effusion EDE-3

Knee arthrocentesis being performed with the probe in the transverse plane and the needle entering in plane with the beam

Joint Effusion EDE-4

A hip arthrocentesis is being performed in a child.

Joint Effusion EDE-5

An elbow arthrocentesis is being performed with the needle entering lateral to the probe.

Vascular Access EDE

Probe slide

JVP EDE-1

This patient has normal JVP. The IJ is seen at the top right of the screen when the probe is slid laterally. Thus the taper is low in the neck.

JVP EDE-2

This patient has elevated JVP.

JVP EDE-3

Paul Olszynski and Donovan MacDonald present Student's Corner on jugular venous pressure and the use of EDE.

JVP EDE-4

Normal JVP in transverse

Soft Tissue EDE-1

A peritonsillar abscess is seen in the near field with the carotid artery in the far field.

Soft Tissue EDE-2

Foreign body grasped by hemostat

Ocular EDE-1

This retinal detachment is located at one extreme of the retina and is only seen when the patient is asked to move their eye.

Ocular EDE-2

A posterior vitreous detachment is seen as a thin white linear structure which exhibits aftermovements.

Ocular EDE-3

Blood from a vitreous hemorrhage moves as the patient moves their eye.

Nerve Block EDE-1

Local anesthetic injected around the median nerve

Nerve Block EDE-2

Local anesthetic injected around the femoral nerve
