Learn how to use point-of-care ultrasound to assess your next ED patient presenting with shoulder pain. Ultrasound examination of the shoulder initially seems intimidating because a comprehensive exam can be anatomically challenging and time-consuming. A focused MSK ultrasound exam can rapidly identify shoulder pathology and guide bedside interventions. This case-based presentation will teach high-yield scanning techniques for acute shoulder trauma. Integrate these POCUS skills to diagnose shoulder injuries quickly and without radiation. Expanding your diagnostic tool-kit with ultrasound will increase provider autonomy, speed patient throughput, and decrease length of stay.
