Lung ultrasound permits reliable assessment and monitoring of lung aeration, and multiple scoring systems have been developed in recent years with specific technical aspects. Authors describe how to apply this technique in the appropriate clinical context: ow.ly/F9Hc50Ss8YN

Image of the day for new #ICU folks. It’s always a good idea to #POCUS prior to thoracentesis, especially in #dialysis patients.

Ooh. This is perhaps overly aligned with my priors, and 200 patients is not 1500, but I feel like this should keep nudging us.

Saw this come up just a few weeks ago

There are 4 types of microcirculation abnormalities. 3 of them can be iatrogenic from injudicious fluid administration. Haemodilution, high CVP and oedema all reduce tissue perfusion. Maintaining coherence between circulatory interfaces is key. Follow those tagged for more.

Pleasure to be a part of this study exploring the current state of #Nephrology #POCUS in VA medical centers. Thanks to Dr. Nilam Soni, Dr. Murray, Dr. Nathanson and team. 🔗 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39120088/ #MedEd #Nephpearls Not unsurprisingly, “ Greater desire for training was seen

A short letter but a lot of #POCUS #Nephpearls - Amir Kazory BayoOlaoye Isolated IVC or lung #ultrasound ≠ volume status. Before drawing conclusions from studies, it's important to grasp the various physiological and technical factors at play. 🔗link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Interesting study: In a STEMI cohort undergoing PCI, lung #POCUS weakly correlated with LVEDP but was significantly linked to in-hospital MACE, new cardiogenic shock, and mortality. #FOAMed #FOAMcc 🔗ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…

(2/x) The patterns of venous congestion varies significantly based on the cause. For example, tricuspid regurgitation associated congestion will have persistently abnormal Hepatic and Intrarenal Veins even with decongestion, however, the portal vein will normalize with

First approach to nomenclature standardization in cardiac POCUS by a genuinely diverse and inclusive panel, including a medical linguist— American Society of Echocardiography. 👉🏼 It can enhance patient safety and standardize practice toward quality assurance! lnkd.in/dPqnCsXh

Excellent thread on the IVC. Such a useful example when used appropriately. I also find it useful in cases of suspected tamponade!

#POCUS - New fear has been unlocked: According to guidelines, chest tubes should be placed at the superior rib border to minimise risk of damage to the neurovascular bundle (which is shielded by the inferior rib edge). Adding Doppler to the pre-procedural ultrasound may identify

I love Nick's stuff, but this is my favorite tweetorial in quite a while.

This is your daily reminder to #POCUS the IVC in two planes! The short-axis view (found by rotating your probe 90 degrees) can be so helpful in those borderline cases. Example 1: is the long-axis IVC plethoric? Hard to tell, but it appears that way 🤔

Setting yourself up for #POCUS success: let’s talk about ergonomic mistakes that I often see novice scanners make. 🧵 1) Machine placement: This is one of the most common. Do NOT put the machine behind you. You should not have to contort your body to see the screen while

How I perform diaphragmatic ultrasound in the intensive care unit Bilateral diaphragm ultrasound is feasible, but the right-sided approach is easier and usually sufficient unless unilateral dysfunction is suspected. Intensive Care Med doi.org/10.1007/s00134…
