USJC 12.18.24

This week's Topic:  GI Grab Bag: Abdominal Hernias / Evaluating for Gastric Contents / Checking Placement of PEG Tube / Diverticulitis.   
This should be a great conversation to think about how we can use the US to assist us in management of common GI issues in the ED and a nice follow up to last week's conference on SBO and CEUS mode for evaluation of pneumoperitoneum.
