In this session, we interview Gaynor Prince. Gaynor is an emergency physician based in New Zealand and has developed a subspecialty interest in ultrasound in ED. We take a look at point of care ultrasound, its utility and its limitations. We will be especially focussing on the EFAST and how it has been adaptive and progressive in point of care treatment in the past 5 years.  We also take a look at ultrasound probes and the positive and negative interaction with tissue. Gaynor unpacks some of the fundamental advantages and disadvantages of POCUS and how it has been adapted, been made portable and democratised amongst clinicians in recent years. We unpack the principles of EFAST, what we are looking for, when to look and where. We examine the difference image representations of fluid, blood, ascites, urine, intestinal contents, lungs, air.  Gaynor them looks at the anatomical variations and how to optimise the view, interplay with clinical questioning, repetition of scans and preferential windows to see the anatomy. We go sequentially through the EFAST and look at tips and tricks from Gaynor's practice and how these can be related to everyone's ultrasound practice and decision making. We finally look at a prime example of when USS has been really useful to Gaynor's practice in one of the remotest and most extreme environments - Antarctica. She recalls a story of when ultrasound greatly assisted her decision making, illustrating some of the unique examples of this modality in remote and austere locations.

Ultrasound with Gaynor Prince - WEMcast re-post 

In this episode, Gaynor Prince discusses her experiences when executing ultrasound in austere environments. Gaynor describes her time in Antartica, a place where medical logistics 'are taken to extremes'.

Gaynor Prince - USS in Extreme Environments 

 South pole...North pole, hot...cold, on earth...in space, below the sea...on Mount Everest, alone and far, far away. Gaynor Prince takes you to Union Glacier in the Ellsworth Mountain Range, Antarctica, to show you how useful ultrasound can be in extreme environments Gaynor relives the story of being in one of the most isolated places on Earth when she gets a Medivac alert. One of her clients, Jack, has become acutely short of breath. With her list if differential diagnoses including high altitude pulmonary oedema, heart failure and pulmonary embolism, Gaynor was presented with an enormously difficult decision. Whilst Jack’s safety was priority number one, in a place like Antarctica, no clinical decision is easy. With the weather closing in, and a huge amount of time and money having been invested in this journey by Jack and his companions, what was she going to do? The answer? Pull out her Phillips Lumify ultrasound machine. A thorough examination with the ultrasound satisfied Gaynor that her patient was safe and stable. Dry lungs, no elevated right pressures, and no signs of DVT of lower limb – meant Jack could stay at the South Pole. Not for the first time, the ultrasound saved Gaynor’s bacon and highlights why it helps her sleep easier at night. Ultrasound will make extreme environments less intimidating for the doctor by enhancing your diagnostic capability, honing your therapeutic management, and fitting into your pocket. This is a brief tale of a journey to Antarctica with a Phillips Lumify ultrasound. Find your passion and reach for the stars.  For more head to: codachange.org/podcasts/
