@ProcedurePRIME Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP) is a diagnosis reserved for patients with cirrhosis. Cardiac ascites / malignant ascites are different entities in terms of their peritonitis risk and treatment threshold. @ebtapper ?

Interesting RCT in @NEJM about platelet transfusions prior to CVC placement in people w/ thrombocytopenia (Plt 10-50k): - higher rate of grade 2-4 bleeding w/o Plt transfusion: 11.9% vs 4.9% - difference driven by much more bleeding w/ subclavian lines nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… 1/

#POCUS image of the day 📸 Classic example of rapid atrial swirl sign (RASS) - rapid opacification of right atrium after saline (preferably agitated but not necessary) injection. Positive test suggests correct placement of central venous catheter #MedTwitter #Nephpearls #FOAMcc Image courtesy: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25550065/

I've decided that using a #POCUS subcostal 4 chamber or bicaval view to make sure the guide wire is in RA before dilating & placing a central line prevents catheter misplacement and saves me time overall. Esp when doing a left IJ approach. My new standard of care @ProcedurePRIME

Ok team. Let's talk about this mysterious, pulsatile-appearing thing in the abdomen. Many of you were concerned that this was a massive AAA 😱😱😱 And, to be fair, that was my first split-second reaction when I scanned the patient as well. BUT!

#POCUS puzzle time again: What's the large circular anechoic structure seen here? Probe is placed on the patient's abdomen in the epigastric region. Patient was in the ICU in profound shock NYD.

One of the feared complications in thoracentesis is hemothorax due to laceration of an intercostal artery. Let's talk about how to avoid it 🧵

@critconcepts They’re small arteries! I don’t have a good citation for the average velocity of flow; but lowering your Nyquist will only increase your sensitivity, and I’ve never run into trouble with excess signal. Will play around with different Nyquists and report back
