Suspect ascites in your patient? #POCUS before paracentesis, always, to find the optimal site, reduce complications (avoid inferior epigastric vessels!) & improve success rate! Check out our Intern US of the Month by Dr. Sam Hertz to learn more! #FOAMed thelandofem.com/blog/2022/7/8/…

42 interns, 20+ educators, 4 residencies, 1 city, all the #POCUS. We LOVED spending the day with @MetroHealth_EM @CCAG_EM #StJohnEM for lots of hands-on #ultrasound education for the newest #EMresidents of #CLE! #CLErising #Believeland @lmccaff120 @SmallsSono @mtabbut @medcramUS

We are witnessing a judicial coup in process. If the President and Congress do not restrain the Court now, the Court is signaling they will come for the Presidential election next. All our leaders - regardless of party - must recognize this Constitutional crisis for what it is.

Last official day of fellowship for our amazing fellows! CONGRATS to Drs. Regina Yaskey (#EMS), Neal Johnson & @jules_147 (#criticalcare), @leahcarter4816 (#PEM), & @zshafie9 (#POCUS)! We’re so proud of you & can’t wait to see what you’ll accomplish next! #CLErising #Believeland

Here’s how Dems can + must do more than wait for an election. Let’s start w/ why: - 7 of the 9 justices were appointed by a party that hasn’t won a popular vote more than once in 30 years - 1 of those seats was stolen - Several lied to Congress to secure their appointment…

Democrats hold the House, Senate & White House. Act.

Tox in The Land is back! Our latest post is by @jules_147, one of our @UHAnesCritCare fellows, who discusses cardiac glycosides & their management. Consider this in your differential for pts w/ digoxin use & hyperkalemia! #MedTox @lopo6587 @RyanMarino thelandofem.com/blog/2022/5/27…

Bedside ultrasound evaluation of a joint effusion is a technique that EVERY EM provider should know. Aspiration of that joint capsule is #EMin2022 @HGHED @ACEP_EUS Let us walk you through this @ highlandultrasound.com

The issue is money in politics. They’re allowing children to die because of the gun lobby. They’re allowing the planet to die because of Big Oil. They’re allowing people to go without healthcare and die because of the insurance lobby. Inaction is bought.

@adamcifu Please go on about how a pandemic doesn't count as a REALLY good reason to wear gloves

Just finished reviewing videos of a few of our students interviewing and examining patients at the end of their 3rd year. They were amazing. It did, however, remind me of my PE pet peeves. Thought I'd re-share. A slide and a paper. meridian.allenpress.com/jgme/article/1…

Very honored to welcome ultrasound educator & guru @RubbleEM from @Yale_EM @Yale_EUS as our #CLErising speaker! We loved learning from her expertise in echo-guided CPR & ACLS. Great case-based discussion on how #pocus in cardiac arrest can help guide & change management! #EMconf

@MittRomney So grow a spine and do something about it.

Grief overwhelms the soul. Children slaughtered. Lives extinguished. Parents’ hearts wrenched. Incomprehensible. I offer prayer and condolence but know that it is grossly inadequate. We must find answers.

@drjgutt Local workflow involves EMR order that populates patient info on the ultrasound machine worklist. Based on triage note if there's any chance I'll want to scan I enter POCUS order when I sign up for the patient. Can do the reverse but takes longer and requires manual data entry.

#Medtwitter For EM docs who use #POCUS regularly, what are your strategies for incorporating it into your workflow while staying productive? Giving a talk on this next month and would love hear how you do it. You’ll get credited for it!
