Hey Folks, See below my Renal POCUS/EDE presentation from EMU 2021 (www.emupdate.ca) & NOVEC 2021 (www.thenovec.com). It’s more about clinical management and impact on ED flow with some illustrative cases. Given the size of the file, there were challenges uploading the video to the blog. So we have created an EDE ONLINE YouTube channel for […]

Hammering away on the peritonsillar abscess theme…
Lloyd Gordon sent me this article. It is not a study regarding POCUS guidance for peritonsillar abscess (PTA). PTA drainage procedures in this study appear to have been done by ENT surgeons using old school blind technique. But it is a negative study. So good to tackle nonetheless. The article is by Battaglia et al […]
Transesophageal Echo & a New Podcast!
Transesophageal echo is slowly making inroads into emergency medicine. It has been presented at EDE 3 a couple of times by Dr Laurie Robichaud. I know that Jordan Chenkin and his team are using TEE at Sunnybrook and have had some pretty cool cases already. Ditto for Tom Jelic with some trauma cases in Winnipeg. […]
POCUS/EDE for Peritonsillar Abscess Drainage – An N of 1 Study
OK, this wasn’t really a pre-planned N of 1 study. But it’s a case that illustrates the power of POCUS/EDE to help diagnose and drain peritonsillar abscesses (PTA). A male in his late teens presented to the ED a few months ago with a sore throat. He was seen in a walk-in clinic 2 days […]

Lloyd’s Corner: POCUS makes things so easy, even the patient’s spouse can make the diagnosis!
Here is another case from Dr Lloyd Gordon of Humber in Toronto… A 32 year-old man presented to the ED with vague and occasional symptoms of urinary discomfort and mild hematuria for 4 months. He had been given multiple courses of antibiotics. The history was otherwise unremarkable. Physical exam was completely negative. The patient looked […]
Scanning the adnexa…a no-go zone?
Since 2001, The EDE Course has been teaching Obstetrical EDE, both the abdominal and transvaginal approaches. Ever since then, participants have been counseled to simply evaluate for a definitive intrauterine pregnancy. If the answer to the binary question is yes, then an ectopic pregnancy has been effectively ruled out, unless one happens to be concerned […]
