Winfocus President highlights the exchange
of experiences in emergency and critical
care ultrasound

In an exclusive interview conducted for the 4th World Congress on Ultrasound in Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Winfocus president Michael Blavias pointed to the enormous disparity among hospitals worldwide with regard to the use of ultrasound in emergency and critical care departments. “In the US, for instance, you may find an ultrasound machine every three beds [in one hospital]. A few blocks away, you might have a single ultrasound machine for the entire hospital”, he says.

He also mentioned the importance of exchanging experiences among professionals in this area. He remarked that professionals and institutions in many parts of the world have conducted studies and found distinctive solutions which can be extremely helpful to other professionals and organizations. The Winfocus Congress, he added, is a great opportunity for the exchange of these experiences. Finally, Blavias revealed his enthusiasm about the event being held in Brazil. “Brazilians are welcoming us with open arms; we have received support from many organizations.”
