Lung #POCUS in #COVID19: a guide In #PedsICU we see similar patterns in bronchiolitis and #viral #pneumonia This is really helpful! #PedsAnes #PEM #Ultrasound WFPICCS

Great visual abstract for this study: essentially lung #POCUS to guide diuretic therapy in heart failure reduces risk of hospital admission... A great study to consider in our #PedsICU & #PedsCards population! Anyone with a #research mind fancy doing/helping me?? Barney Scholefield 🌈 💙

Use of #POCUS in #CVC insertion: - identify vein and puncture - see wire and line in vein - bubble study - rule out pneumothorax Really helpful in #PedsICU #PedsAnes

Neonatal cranial ultrasound scanning: useful poster on ‘how to’ In all collapsed neonates don’t forget a quick look at the head for blood as part of #POCUS in the shocked child #PedsICU #PedsAnes #PEM #Neonates #ultrasound

Coming to the end of my #PedsICU on call week University Hospital Southampton 💙 Southampton Children's Hospital #POCUS has helped me with assessment & treatment - vascular access - pericardial effusion - pleural effusions - pneumothorax - fluid balance - VAP - ventricular function All made easier by Butterfly Network

You can listen to a child’s chest. Or you can look inside This is helpful information.. #PedsICU #POCUS Butterfly Network has made huge changes to our practice Southampton Children's Hospital & I’m excited to be working with UHS Critical Care & other adult wards to help introduce it across University Hospital Southampton 💙

Cardiac output calculations using #POCUS - and forms the basis of other cardiac output monitors too... #PedsICU #PedsAnes #Physiology #EchoFirst

Lung #POCUS in #ARDS in children on #ECMO👇 Honestly, this is such a useful tool in #PedsICU and works on non-ECMO children with #pARDS as well...useful review here... atm.amegroups.com/article/view/2…

This is a great infographic on #POCUS in #COVID19 patients What is interesting is that a lot of this is what we see in our #PedsICU #bronchiolitis patients every winter (except RV signs usually pulmonary HTN rather than PE)
