Academic medicine offers unique challenges along with unique rewards. The opportunity to influence leaders of tomorrow like Mathilde Gaudreau-Simard through our #POCUS fellowship offers a satisfaction that is hard to exaggerate. Ottawa GIM - get ready for the IM POCUS revolution!

Great term: "Hygiene Theater". Masks will be around for a while but how do we move on from the pointless, obsessive and costly surface cleaning?

Could there be digital biomarkers in lung ultrasound images that cannot be seen by the human eye? Could this allow AI to make a bedside diagnosis > > a trained physician? It is looking that way. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/11/3/e… #POCUS #AI Schulich WesternU London Health Sciences Centre @lawsonresearch

For those curious about the critical care echo exam process with the NBE and the certification pathway NovaLeda has helped construct the definitive early story here. Worth a read if you’re interested in echo in resus (or taking the exam!). National Board of Echocardiography

Hospitals have been full since I started medical training in 2004. Out of 33 OECD countries, Canada comes in 31st place for hospital beds per capita. I will not surrender my human rights to the health care mis-managers who bungled this for the last 20 years.

First ever (?) University-created/sponsored CME program for POCUS from Schulich WesternU for lung ultrasound. Get your CME and certificate of completion and eventual live training option as well... wpe.uwo.ca/search/publicC…

ICU physician here. This week I -treated dozens with COVID -saw our ICU add 25% capacity -planned for worst case scenario (triage) Despite this, I agree with the masses that the new outdoor ON restrictions are: -unscientific -antithetical to wellness on a population level

"Canada’s per-capita rates of covid-19 are now higher than the UK and US" Important and highly readable piece for my medical and non-medical Canadian friends and colleagues. Watch out for the maple syrup pun buried in there. peter brindley

Lung ultrasound via TEE: may sound like a #POCUS party trick, however in our routine ICU use we find -offers crucial answers not available on routine LUS -easy add-on to critical care TEE for 1-stop shop for cardio/pulm failure -++ useful at lung bases link.springer.com/article/10.100…

I am really concerned with how much we have undersold the amazing efficacy of COVID vaccines in Canada. 1/

LVOT obstruction: sneaky, common, potentially deadly BUT very POCUSable! Check out our video Western Sono on the how to for assessing LVOTO! Thanks to Robert Arntfield for guidance in development and Ross Prager for a beauty dagger waveform in one of our cases youtu.be/s7oLwQGy8B0

Ultrasound = GPS for the intensivist.

Rich countries in the Northern hemisphere are likely at peak vaccine-immunisation. We might get better drugs, but more effective vaccines are unlikely in the short term. It's spring and we're facing a relatively 'mild' variant. Either we resume 'normal' now, or we don't, ever.

After a brief hiatus, the New Zealand Resuscitative Ultrasound Course will be back in 2023. It will be held Feb 23-24th in Wellington under the guidance of international 🇨🇦 ultrasound superstar, Robert Arntfield More info including registration details here: nzrus.wellingtonicu.com

Short + direct summary of our take on the value of TEE in contemporary critical care practice. Give it a read...if only for the hyperbolic opening line : )

Deep Breathe Secures Funding to Advance AI-powered Lung Ultrasound Technology prn.to/3JR042w

If there is one #medtech team in the #ultrasound space to follow in 2024, its Deep Breathe 🔊🫁🚀 Deep Breathe is using machine learning to diagnose pulmonary pathology in real time at the bedside! Thankful to collaborate and research with such a great team! Derek Wu

THIS all day long. Kiran Rikhraj has spent 9 months with us and will be giving her experience and perspective to the world for free - stay tuned for more great stuff from her like this.

The Western Sono Critical Care Ultrasound fellowship has openings starting in the new year. Do you want to join the wall of fame of those who have graduated from our elite training in resus POCUS and TEE? westernsono.ca/learn/critical…

(1/x) Performing ultrasound in zero gravity is harder than in the ICU... Here's what we learned from studying AI ultrasound in zero gravity trying to detect celestial dust related lung injury 🌙🚀 A 🧵 Made possible by funding from Canadian Space Agency
