Wonderful to be in Beaumont for @EGLS_ The time has never been better to start incorporating #pocus into your practice.

Point of care ultrasound? #POCUS Should we all be trained in its use? Short answer: Yes Long answer: Yes 🙂

CoSTR.ILCOR does a detailed analysis (far from being complete) of evidences from trials on PoCUS in cardiac arrest, but there is no consideration about similar analysis of other diagnostic tools that should be used to diagnose causes of PEA. It is the absurd.

What is rationale of stating “against” the routine use of PoCUS in cardiac arrest and then still recommending absent breath sound and jugular distention as routine use for tension ptx in PEA? It is prejudice, not science. costr.ilcor.org/document/diagn…

@ShariqShamimMD @EM_RESUS @DrRajeshG1 @Vadeboncoeur_Al @iamritu @Pooh_Velagapudi @mmamas1973 @jedicath @DrMarthaGulati @mandeep_mayo The easy way to make the diagnosis is to use bedside ultrasound and see if there are B lines or not. If the lungs are clear, then you know it’s pulmonary embolism. If there are B lines, then you know it is heart failure.

@iceman_ex @POCUSpeek @pocusfoamed No doubts. Thickness, brightness and even visibility of the pleural line depend on the angulation of the probe. A-lines follow, of course…But the B-lines do not always erase A-lines. Anyone who observes daily will agree.

@NephroP Umm that plethoric ‘ivc’ doesn’t go through the liver…

Very fortunate to be a part of this pretty amazing group of emergency ultrasound experts! Check out our handy work 👇🏻

@grahamwalker MDCalc is awesome and very useful. Kudos !

I am flattered that she thinks MDCalc is such an important tool to medicine that I'm not still a fully practicing emergency physician

Hi, ER Doc here. I use this account to teach people about medical emergencies. It’s my birthday today and would love to hit 200K followers to be able to reach more people. Can I get some follows and RTs to help me get there?
