(1/x) Here are the 10 biggest errors I see clinicians make while trying to learn #POCUS (aka: how to avoid common POCUS pitfalls) A 🧵

(1/x) Venous congestion is not just about volume overload. A 🧵 on diagnosing and treating individual sub-types of congestion based on their underlying cause. #foamed #medtwitter

(4/x) Thus, if the IVC can only tell us a couple pieces of information of left sided congestion AND we are trying to understand a patient complex hemodynamics, why even assess it? Good use cases for IVC: 1. A collapsible IVC indicates low mean systemic filling pressure --> this

For new #ICU fellows the learning curve is STEEP. On reflection, the best fellows seem to master core groups of skills in a somewhat predictable order. Here is my take on the "Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs" equivalent for ICU skills. 1st: Resuscitative Skills --> without

Want to perform high quality clinical research? The best piece of advice I've received is to focus 10x more on creating an unimpeachable research protocol. This is how I do it step-by-step: 1) I start with a manuscript template for the study design I am using (linked below 👇)

(1/x) Those of us who love #pocus often use it to rule out pneumothorax. But how reliable is this approach? So-so. We found only moderate interrater reliability to detect lung sliding among clinicians.
