We are proud to team up with Sonosite to feature their events locally and internationally for this magazine, our 2nd issue.

We are more concern with the benefits we are giving to the people who are spending their time, money and effort to attend to our educational demo’s, hands-on, and congresses.

The fact that we nurture their minds through the doctors, proctors & speakers who give exemplary learnings to the attendees, it’s the knowledge to see the importance of state-of-the-art technology of our systems as well.

How we see the market is how we see the need of the people surrounding us. Education is for everyone who wants to learn.

We, FUJIFILM Middle East, will continue to provide proper education thru our events. Because we believe;

“In this Medical World full of competition, we don’t just focus on sales. But most importantly, educating the market, so they will be aware of what FUJIFILM is.”

Ultrasound Guided Paravertebral Nerve BlocksOn Demand Presentation / Dr. Theresa Bowling will present this webinar which is designed to teach the participants how to perform an ultrasound guided thoracic paravertebral single shot nerve block and catheter placement. The relevant gross and ultrasound anatomy will be discussed and will include ultrasound video tutorials for needle and catheter placement. Indication and contraindications for performing this block will be discussed in detail. Pertinent literature supporting this block for anesthesia and analgesia will be also be presented. Clinical pearls to help participants perform this block successfully will round out this webinar on thoracic paravertebral blocks. Webinar Goals and Objectives: 1. Techniques to perform ultrasound guided thoracic paravertebral nerve blocks. 2. Anatomy, sonoanatomy, indications, contraindications, and literature review for TPVB single shot blocks and catheters 3. Video tutorial of ultrasound imaging of PVB.

Resuscitative Echocardiography:Visual Assessment and Doppler MeasurementsOn Demand Presentation / Dr. Robert Arntfield is an Assistant Professor, Director of Critical Care Ultrasound / Division of Critical Care & Division of Emergency Medicine, Department of Medicine, Western University London, Ontario, Canada. Dr. Arntfield will explore case examples to highlight the value of both basic visual assessments and more sophisticated Doppler techniques when performing echocardiography to guide resuscitation. Upon the completion of the webinar, the participant will be able to: 1. Appreciate that a visual assessment alone can satisfy the majority of important clinical questions in high-stakes resuscitation. 2. Identify scenarios where a more quantitative approach using spectral Doppler, may offer an advantage over visual assessment. 3. Identify commonly referenced quantitative approaches that confer little additional benefit for the resuscitative echocardiographer.

Starting a Point-of-Care Ultrasound ProgramOn Demand Presentation / Dr. David Cook is the Director of Emergency Ultrasound, Roper Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital, Charleston, SC. Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) has been incorporated into multiples of medical specialties. Beginning a hospital based ultrasound program may encounter

solutions to the initial start up process of beginning an ultrasound training program.

Diagnostic Shoulder Ultrasound Exam Part 1On Demand Presentation / Dr. Benjamin DuBois, MD is a board-certified and fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon who devotes 100% of his practice to the treatment of shoulder disorders. Dr. DuBois has expert training in shoulder surgery, and has extensive experience in shoulder replacements, rotator cuff disorders, and arthroscopic shoulder surgery. He is trained in state of the art techniques including the reverse ball and socket shoulder replacement and performs in-office shoulder ultrasound for the immediate diagnosis of rotator cuff disorders.
