Young ♀️ w CKD on HD, seen in Cardiorenal clinic Pt had torrential tricuspid regurgitation due to CVC induced leaflet perforation ➡️ She underwent tricuspid valve replacement surgery 🫀🔪 However, 1 month after discharge she is still using a wheelchair 🤔 1/12🧵

This is a god level POCUS hemodynamics thread from Eduardo R Argaiz! A must read for anyone in the business of managing volume in HD patients

Those physicians be like, "does 🩺improve mortality? I ain't using it till there is a RCT showing mortality benefit" #POCUS (-enhanced physical exam) users, do you see any similarity? #MedTwitter #NephTwitter

(Spoiler alert, the answer is yes) :)

I’m thrilled to announce that Victoria Reedman was awarded the 2023 Social Responsibility Award in Postgrad Med Ed. She is a fierce advocate for patients, especially those often overlooked by our system. I am so proud of her and grateful to Department of Medicine University of Toronto for recognizing her contributions.

70sM brought to hosptial for confusion but predominant with fall and difficulty walking. No other collateral or anything on records. His mind is actually quite good. A little slowed but not delirious. Magnetic gait — not the worse — but the feet are not lifting off. 1/4

In this case report, we use carotid Doppler to non-invasively quantify the hemodynamics of a pericardial effusion pre-post pericardiocentesis. This may be an alternative option in patients with limited TTE windows Jon-Emile Kenny Michael Pratte Philippe Rola shorturl.at/lrHJQ

If you are not training folks on the curvilinear in #lungultrasound then you NEED to read this paper by Michael Walsh Leo Smyth Janeve Desy Irene Ma alberto.goffi Joelle SP really stellar work!

Adding to this important PSA from Dr. Katie Wiskar - scene from pre-thora in the outpatient clinic... we went somewhere else

I used to teach that IVC measurements could tell you about fluid responsiveness, then it was fluid tolerance, and now I 'm just like "it helps you estimate right atrial pressure... usually... do with that what you will" :P

If you love ultrasound and hemodynamics and you are not following Ross Prager you need to start right now!!
