PHUSED™ – PreHospital UltraSound Education
Point-of-care ultrasound is becoming increasingly popular in prehospital care due to both developments in technology and gradually reducing cost. PHUSED™ is intended to provide the prehospital practitioner with a hands-on introduction to ultrasonography and overview of the fundamental scans used in prehospital critical care.





Course overview
