Appendix
11:00 AM - 11:40 AMAbstract
Appendix ultrasound is not an essential ultrasound skill for a sonographer, but as imaging becomes more and more important in the safe and timely triage of patients in the acute presentation setting of abdominal pain, ultrasound of the appendix will be an expected skill.
At this workshop I will try to make an understandable and efficient approach to surveying the acute abdomen, and how to narrow down the search for the appendix. I will welcome all attendees to get their hands on and scan this interesting but achievable to find little structure.
