GE Venue Knobology
Everybody loves twiddling knobs on machines that go ping! But how to knobologise a flatscreen? In this pulsating series of three how-to ultrasound videos, we pick our way through the knobology fingerology of the popular GE Venue POCUS machines – with an emphasis on practicality, speed, tips and tricks.
It’s a comprehensive tour, from the wheels on the cart to the calipers on a gallbladder.
Along the way, we pose some difficult questions:
- what happens if an ultrasound machine is struck by lightning?
- where do you find a Queenslander’s small parts?
- why are they called Elon Musk buttons?
Let’s get to grips with these flatscreen workhorses in just 20 minutes.
