PATIENT CARE Introducing Ultrasound in Rural EMS Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is becoming increasingly prevalent in the prehospital setting. Trauma is the most common indication, but atraumatic cardiac arrest is a common scenario that can benefit from POCUS as well. However, not all state EMS agencies have adopted POCUS. In this article, we describe the process of getting POCUS onboard the ambulances of a rural Idaho county, a state which previously has not used ultrasound in EMS.

**Raising Awareness on Aortic Dissection Awareness Day** Today, on Aortic Dissection Awareness Day, I would like to take a moment to highlight the importance of early detection and timely intervention in managing this life-threatening condition. Aortic dissection, often referred to as a "silent killer," can strike suddenly and without warning, making awareness and education crucial. With advancements in medical technology and surgical techniques, we have made significant progress in diagnosing and treating aortic dissections. However, the key remains in recognizing the symptoms early—such as sudden, severe chest or back pain—and seeking immediate medical attention. As a healthcare community, we must continue to spread awareness, educate the public, and support ongoing research to improve outcomes for those affected. Let’s work together to save lives through better understanding and prompt action. Stay informed, stay safe, and let’s make a difference together. #AorticDissectionAwareness #HeartHealth #CardiacSurgery #PatientCare #Healthcare #SaveLives

This narrative review explores the application of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in palliative care and its feasibility in home care settings. POCUS has the potential to streamline diagnostic strategies without patient transfer to the hospital, expedite timely symptomatic relief, and reduce complications from specific palliative interventions. The advent of handheld ultrasound devices has made it an attractive diagnostic and interventional adjunct in acute palliative care. POCUS has gained widespread acceptance as part of routine care in emergency medicine and intensive care, guiding certain procedures and increasing their safety. . https://lnkd.in/eurU53KV #hospice #HospiceServices
