#POCUS #Nephpearls Cylinder effect – when the #ultrasound beam slices the vessel at its periphery rather than through its center, it yields a falsely smaller diameter. This can create errors when tracking patient progress, assessing whether RAP is improving, or when relying on

Bedside 🫀ultrasound can quickly estimate LV function using EPSS (E-Point Septal Separation). In this talk I cover: 👉 How to measure EPSS 👉 How to interpret results 👉 Pitfalls to avoid 🎥 Full lecture: youtu.be/xEcnSK6-NFc #POCUS #EmergencyMedicine #FOAMed #ultrasound

Fascinating - I had not heard of this before. Thank you.

Friendly reminder: During an intra-arrest #POCUS, the finding of RV dilation alone is generally insufficient to conclude the presence of a pulmonary embolism & justify the administration of thrombolytics. After a few min of CPR, RV tends to dilate due to

Not your everyday cause of pericardial effusion/tamponade‼️⚠️ See thread for answer/source article. #POCUS #FOAMed #echofirst

Can you diagnose this patient with just the common carotid pulsed-wave Doppler? Turn the sound on and try 👇 @nephrop Jonny Wilkinson

🔍 Candle Flame Sign in Mitral Stenosis – key bedside indicator of restricted diastolic inflow in dyspneic patients; aliasing turbulent jet visualizes narrowing, aiding MS detection with high accuracy in valvular POCUS (sens 82-83%, spec 97-100% for significant VHD) #POCUS

Surgeon: Yeah I don’t think it’s that Radiologist who has seen the same thing on CT 300 times:

F. 45 yo, SOB and cough for 1 week. Diagnosed by the GP as bronchitis. Took antibiotics for a week. Felt worse, went to ER, got CT (no PE).
