Bladder Fullness with Dr. Almaz Dessie and FEMinEM host Dr. Resa E. Lewiss
In a very special journal club, we team up with Dr. Resa E. Lewiss and the FEMinEM podcast to answer the question:
"In children awaiting a radiology-performed transabdominal pelvic ultrasound, can point-of-care ultrasound decrease time to radiology and improve first-attempt success compared to sensation of bladder fullness?"
We sit down with Dr. Almaz Dessie, first author on the recent RCT published in Annals of Emergency Medicine titled Point-of-Care Ultrasound Assessment of Bladder Fullness for Female Patients Awaiting Radiology-Performed Transabdominal Pelvic Ultrasound in a Pediatric Emergency Department: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Dr. Almaz Dessie is an attending in Pediatric Emergency medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia and completed fellowships in Pediatric Emergency Medicine and Pediatric Emergency Ultrasound.
Dr. Resa E. Lewiss is a legend in the POCUS world and is the host of the FEMinEM podcast.
