One of the BIGGEST #POCUS misconceptions is that B lines 🟰 pulmonary edema 🤦‍♀️

Did you know that there is actually a wide DDx for B lines?

Check out my latest video about #LungUltrasound for interstitial syndromes 👀; or read on for the highlights 👇 🧵

Suggested New Year's Resolution: more mindful prescribing of IV fluids 🫧

Far too often I see IV fluids thrown around with minimal consideration; meanwhile, we'll deliberate for hours about a dose of lasix 🤦‍♀️

Here are the 10 most common fluid prescription mistakes I see 🧵

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis that is predominantly a clinical diagnosis.

We present a case in which a 5-month-old patient developed prominent enlargement of coronary arteries with associated giant aneurysms. Read our CASE report: bit.ly/4gDBb8j

IVR has constant volume, but shape change. All parts of the ventricle relax, but the apex relaxes most, and hence is most Energy demanding, the shortening of the base is not wasted work. The reconfiguration generates apical flow, giving momentum to the subsequent early filling

Nice study showing the evolution of TAPSE during uncomplicated coronary artery bypass surgery using TOE. It drops not after pericardiotomy but upon weaning from CPB and further on closure of the chest. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #echosky #cccsky #pocus

I love love LOVE scanning the heart 😍, but when it comes to bang for your buck for ultrasound novices, lung ultrasound is such a winner 🏆

It's time for another #POCUS basics #skeetorial 🧵

Let's talk about common pitfalls in #LungUltrasound and how to correct these ✔️

ICU Hemodynamic/Physiology Quizzes:

Let's return to basics: systolic arterial pressure (SP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and diastolic arterial pressure (DP)

Which of the following statements is (more) accurate regarding the relationship of MAP and DP?
