Wisdom from the brilliant Dr Mike Blaivas, trailblazer in POCUS and AI: The interventionalists die last! AI is already guiding image acquisition and interpreting images, but our procedural skills seem safe ... for now ... youtube.com/watch?v=CQ0IAX…

@PEARLS_POCUS is back in Vanuatu teaching the ED & Crit Care course! 🇻🇺 Working with clinicians to expand local POCUS capacity. A special moment this trip: celebrating Micah's birthday - a PEARLS graduate and faculty from rural PNG who traveled to Vanuatu to teach. #PacificHealth

Struggling to obtain good #POCUS images? Try scanning in the back of an ambulance at 100 kph 😱 A great talk from @Paramacchiato here describing the pre-hospital environment - prime example of a resource-limited setting 🙌 youtube.com/watch?v=2Sk8M-…

In Vanuatu, Tonga & PNG, the PEARLS program is supporting clinicians with hands-on ultrasound training, remote mentorship & lasting skills. 40 trained, 576 scans uploaded. Discover the impact: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aj… #POCUS #AJUM

Two contrasting settings, one consistent finding: Sustainable POCUS adoption requires more than initial training. Our studies show that whether it's dedicated educators in Australian EDs or remote mentorship in Pacific Islands hospitals, ongoing support is what drive real change

Role of POCUS diagnosing severe Dengue •⁠ ⁠Early identification of patients with severe dengue is essential for prompt medical intervention, leading to reduced mortality and complications. •⁠ ⁠POCUS should be included as part of a multi-modal assessment tool (i.e. clinical + serial lab investigation) in evaluating patients with dengue illness. •⁠ ⁠It can help detect early plasma leakage, a hallmark of severe dengue and guide fluid management. ✍️@yeohjc
