POCUS to Diagnosis Gastric Content - a podcast by Ultrasound GEL

Usually in ultrasound we think of the stomach as something that gets in the way or gives us a false positive LUQ view in the FAST. But what if visualizing the stomach could actually be helpful?

These authors test out the accuracy of POCUS for this purpose in healthy volunteers.
