So proud of my @NCICNHS respiratory and endoscopy colleagues after we successfully performed our first LA #Thoracoscopy today This service will make a huge difference to the travel burden and timely diagnostic/ therapeutic management of #MPE across N.Cumbria 👍🏻 @OlympusMedUKIE

This is a lung pulse seen with #pocus. This is a clever way to rule out a pneumothorax in patients with absent lung sliding. While pneumothorax is a likely cause of absent lung sliding, it can also be seen with pulmonary fibrosis, pleurodesis, or atelectasis. In these latter cases, the visceral pleura is still attached, it just isn't moving as it should.
