How is IQ3 compared to GE VScan Air SL in terms of cardiac? Thanks

Hi! I'm a first year internal medicine resident in Mexico. During the past two years, I have been using POCUS both with hospitalized patients and outpatients in the places Ive worked at. However the hospital where I will be doing my first year of residency does not have a portable ultrasound machine, and the only ultrasound available are exclusivle for the ER and Radiology. Ever since I started using ultrasound I have been thinking about getting one for myself and Id say now would be best to take advantage of it during my stay. My question is, would you recommend saving up more to get the newer IQ3 or should I just go for the IQ+? Thank you, and great video!

Think of it like buying a cell phone- you can save money now, but it will be obsolete sooner. But if you can't afford the iQ3, any ultrasound is better than no ultrasound!

Thank you for the informative video! Have you used the GE Vscan Air CL for cardiac views? Does the IQ3 compare well to that?

[@pc_POCUS]

good question.. maybe that will be my next vid!

You should compare with Clarius PAL. Butterfly quality is very poor in comparison

@@dreambro22 I look forward to trying it when it comes on the market.
