Jacob Avila (VP of Clinical Education & Training) and Peter Weimersheimer (VP of Clinical Implementation) break down real patient cases live — from acute vs. chronic right heart strain to cardiac arrest ultrasound, regional wall motion abnormalities, and the ultimate question every clinician faces: does this patient need more fluids or pressors? Learn practical techniques for volume responsiveness, VExUS scoring, and more with the Butterfly iQ+.
