Interesting paper on auto-PEEP 🔗atsjournals.org/doi/full/10.34… #FOAMed #FOAMcc #MedEd

Thanks! This was a blast to write with Mike Keller @megan_acho and Burton Lee! 5 signs of autopeep 1) persistent end exp flow 2) volume in ≠ volume out (flow in ≠ flow out) 3) pressure above peep during exp hold 4) ineffective triggering 5) broken tooth sign

@rishikumarmd I wonder if the consolidation is atelectasis or pneumonia. The pleural effusion doesn't seem to be abundant enough to cause atelectasis; could it be a parapneumonic effusion instead? The dynamic air bronchogram also aligns with pneumonia.Nice case, congrats and thx for sharing

@EmergPOCUS Very good, I use it in my everyday practice. Clear, it’s not a gold standard but it helps with volume estimation when it is performed by the same operator
