Hi #medtwitter! We’re #PRIME - a group of (mostly) Internal Medicine physicians dedicated to advancing procedural innovation, safety, and research.
Follow us for discussions around procedural technique; evidence updates, live Q&A, and more!

@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

#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

@phlegmfighter @RabbleRouseED @ria_dancel Sure you can look solely based on time. You can also factor in the patients’ fear, anxiety, pain, inconvenience when having to reposition…
English

@RabbleRouseED @ria_dancel @ProcedurePRIME it's an expected utility calculation - time of repositioning 1 catheter out of XVY # of catheters, versus cumulative time of scanning under the ribs while draped
English

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

Nice description the technique here: brownemblog.com/blog-1/2021/4/…

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.

I've been teaching a simple approach for tube thoracostomy using ultrasound. Published it in 2018. This seems like a great opportunity to share!

@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
English

@ProcedurePRIME Surely an intercostal ARTERY would not be low flow?
