@MDbenji @pdxfutebol @SocietyHospMed @G2Disrupt @RicardoHenri6 @buckeye_sanjay @MSF @HVOUSA Also found HOCM, Pericardial effusions, Tamponade, Crazy empyemas, lots of DVT's in "chest pain" and diagnosed Aortic Stenosis on the spot.

Question 1 for discussion: In what ways can #POCUS improve your ability to take care of people in resource limited settings? (Abroad or even in your own place of practice) #POCUSchat

@MDbenji @pdxfutebol @SocietyHospMed @G2Disrupt @RicardoHenri6 @buckeye_sanjay @MSF @HVOUSA Rapid diagnosis or stabilization is the name of the game. Have evaluated renal jets in urosepsis to avoid tertiary care transfers when stone sepsis couldn't be ruled out. Found pelvic masses and malignant ascites twice in cases of weak patients. Essential for CHF. #POCUSchat

@pdxfutebol @SocietyHospMed @G2Disrupt @RicardoHenri6 @MDbenji @buckeye_sanjay @MSF @HVOUSA Don't have to go abroad to serve with POCUS. Rural settings in the USA are the most underserved population - ideal setting for POCUS as a rapid diagnostic modality. Anything from bladder US to advanced echo can get your diagnosis faster and management more accurate #POCUSchat

Definitely wins the flu-flu drink competition...

@SocietyHospMed @medmanny @michellebr00ks @OhHeyDrKay @TracyVettese @medpedshosp @nilamjsoni @MDbenji @DRsonosRD @ERitterMD @iattending Can't wait to see my #POCUS peeps again. Could only tag 10 of you but looking forward to hanging with all of you!

@PhilipsPOCUS @buckeye_sanjay @MDbenji Proud to have served with AtriaConnect to bring meaningful education to this community in Haiti

See how @buckeye_sanjay, @MDbenji & Dr. Reierson used #POCUS to evaluate a patient with ascites secondary to a gynecologic malignancy in rural Haiti.

#POCUS Hangin’ at a faculty outing for ultrasound. Awesomeness...!

@ria_dancel @cm_lopresti @pdxfutebol @LMKurian Takes a big man to drink a Foo-foo drink with such style...💪😂

@cm_lopresti @KreeganR @pdxfutebol You mean this fancy drink photo? 😂

A1: Lecture are fun and all. But most effective way to train is probe to skin with local expert guidance. #pocuschat

@benjikmathews @andrewolsonmd @BillNovak @MikeJAylward @bboesch @PaulBerglMD @anjalibhagramd @medmanny @mnarasimhan The buy in of faculty is the greatest barrier - the rest can be overcome more easily once buy in is attained

@cm_lopresti Charlie - can’t agree more. Resident or student training requires faculty mentors and oversight #pocuschat

Having invested faculty is key, yet one of the biggest barriers to effective training #pocuschat

@benjikmathews @pdxfutebol @ria_dancel Depends on the modality. Cardiac has tons of pathology and pseudo-pathology. Vascular - not so much

@pdxfutebol @ria_dancel I’m always a fan of aggressive image interpretation sessions. Need to be correct as well as flashy... #pocuschat

@ria_dancel Agree! Hands on the probe with an expert after seeing a video. Biggest bang for the buck #pocuschat

Awesomeness

Congratulations Rick!!
