#proudtobeasonographer cardiac ultrasound/echo has allowed me to work around the world! Trained in South Africa worked in Europe now in Australia! A great profession #sonographer

@Becho2106 @BonitaEcho Congrats @BonitaEcho very well deserved!

Such a huge and well deserved achievement for @BonitaEcho It was amazing to be there to see and hear you accept the award!!

Hi Australian #pocus critical care enthusiasts. Who is using #VExUS protocol on a regular basis? Jested in the Au uptake

The brilliant @cazcormack at #SONIC2024 @EMUGs_

@ross_prager I think there is more than 1 RWMA... a bit of dyskinesis going on as well

What wall motion abnormalities would you call? (hint: is this a TEE or TTE)

Sometimes when there is severe LV dysfunction, it can be difficult to call regional wall motion abnormalities. Curious what people would call here? (see next for poll) #echofirst #pocus #cardioTwitter

Yesterday, we were informed that the body of Yehudit Weiss, a resident of Be’eri, was found in Gaza, and today, we were told that the body of Noa Marciano, the kidnapped security analyst, was also found in Gaza. Both were kidnapped alive and murdered there. Executing hostages is a war crime and a crime against humanity! Where are all the human rights organizations that are silent?!

Patient with hypotension and dyspnea requiring intubation with brief peri-intubation cardiac arrest. #POCUS post arrest shows the following: what is the most likely etiology? (see next for poll) #echofirst #medtwitter #CardioTwitter

@gabyblech As an Emergency Physician, I find the suffering of 240 civilian hostages - babies, toddlers, woman and elderly, intolerable. I also find the brutal murder of 1400 innocent civilians, slaughtered in their homes, including decapitated babies and children burnt alive, intolerable.

@Mon4Kooyong You are so out of touch if you think hamas is a true political party to suit down and "work together".

Hamas has made the road to a two-state solution much harder. Israel has every right to defend its people. I urge all parties to work together to end this violence and to protect their innocent citizens.

@gabyblech @AlboMP He and Penny to busy showing restraint

@Aidan_Baron It's not only telehealth, it's the move to on- line forms pre procedure or consultation. The amount of times I have helped parents with this...

Such an important nuance amidst the push to Telehealth We mustn’t leave those behind who can’t access care over the phone (elderly, tech-illiterate, no access to phone, economically unsupported, etc) Seriously recommend having a flick through this paper

@cazcormack @MarkRussellJ @AliUltrasound @NephroP @EM_VATA @PetersPOCUS @dan___kim @iceman_ex @UCUltrasound @zedunow @cazcormack I remember that one.. 😢

#POCUS people- curious to know if you have a record for the most machines in the room for one patient? #ASUMNZ23 @NephroP @EM_VATA @PetersPOCUS @dan___kim @iceman_ex @UCUltrasound @zedunow @cazcormack @antwaldecho

@Becho2106 Pru Pratten Life Time Award for service to #sonography #cardiacsonography #echofirst #Asa2023 #sonographer Congrats Bec, you are an absolute superstar and inspiration!

@nat_echo @nat_echo the way I read this is 45 minutes of probe time on skin if there is a ESW. Correct?

British Society of Echo position statement on minimum length of time for an echo slot. 👏🏼 I will walk out if anyone tries to reduce our echo slots. I did not train as a physiologist for 4 years then accredit in echo a further 3 years to do rubbish 20 minute echos. RANT!…

Hi @AlboMP can I introduce you to @Patty_Mills…

@cazcormack @improbablepedro @gl_mclean @gabyblech Well done, honoured to work with such a great person and utmost professional!

Tei index (myocardial performance index). Are you routinely using it for clinical TTE. "Routine" is >50% scanning a non-research clinical list. Adults & paeds feel free to answer. #echofirst @BonitaEcho @GWhalleyPhD @cawest10 @echoguru @heartfulpaeds @arh_cardio RT after answer.

@DanielAndrewsMP @Dom_Perrottet There is no need to delay return to high school. Per health.gov.au/sites/default/… the double dose rate age 12-15 rate is >83% and >16 year old over is 92%. Kids must return to high school. Do not stuff this up!

Back from leave and back to Zoom. Today I caught up with @Dom_Perrottet to talk Omicron, hospitals and schools ahead of National Cabinet later this week.

@gabyblech @trigeminy_henry @cazcormack The excitement of a new machine mixed with the trepidation of teaching the hand all the new moves and sequences. That's LIVING!

New machine vs. Old

@EM_VATA @echoguru No infection control is a work place/user issue. Can't shift the responsibility to manufacturers

@antwaldecho @echoguru True, but that is industry's prerogative to solve that problem...

Anyone else want to share cable management ideas??
