Division dinner at #SHMconverge in Nashville-wonderful evening with a group of awesome Hospitalists ⁦UT Health San Antonio Hospital Medicine⁩ ⁦Society of Hospital Medicine⁩

The enthusiasm and expertise, especially ultrasound guided lumbar puncture from Robert Nathanson are impressive. I wish I have a picture of him teaching LP. Will definitely get the picture next time. He will be my go-to person for LP!!

Our congratulations to Drs. Nilam Soni, Robert Nathanson, Erin Finley & Jacqueline pugh collaborate on publishing a POCUS skills assessment checklist for image acquisition & anatomy identification for basic cardiac, lung, abdominal and vascular ultrasound: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35551527/

Developing #POCUS track for #IMresidents can help bridge training gap in #IMPOCUS by creating #POCUS champions who can teach med studs, residents, & even faculty. Consider incorporating POCUS certificate by Society of Hospital Medicine / CHEST to get started ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Comparison of 4 handheld #POCUS devices by 24 experts on same 4 human models. Image quality unanimously voted most important variable. No perfect device. Lumify™ rated highest for image quality; Vscan Air™ rated highest for ease of use. Full PDF here: theultrasoundjournal.springeropen.com/track/pdf/10.1…

Diagnostic #POCUS use increased while procedural use decreased among #hospitalists from 2015 to 2020. Lack of training still #1 barrier. Improved access to devices (45% handhelds) in 2020. …mpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10… Jeremy Boyd @WetherbeePulmCC Robert Nathanson Zahir Basrai, MD Charlie LoPresti

👀 Check out the results of the largest hospital medicine survey on the use of POCUS and its applications at VA hospitals ✴️ 64% use POCUS ✴️ 79% have dedicated ultrasounds 🚩 Lack of training is the biggest barrier …mpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jh…

At times it can be really hard to diagnose congestive hepatopathy in patients. #POCUS may help and circumvent a liver biopsy. Congrats to Dr. Dollar and Dr. Nathanson! San Antonio VAMC UT Health San Antonio Hospital Medicine ankur segon #SHMConverge23

Come by to our clinical skills workshop! We will be teaching ultrasound guided LP at the ACP National Meeting! Thankful for the best instructor and mentor Robert Nathanson UT Health San Antonio IM Residency ACP #ACP2024 #POCUS

1) More #POCUS training desired in those previously trained (🤔benefits of POCUS realized once you start using it?) 2) Lack of training = top barrier to #POCUS use 3) Majority groups have ≥1 rheumatologist already using POCUS. #OpenAccess link.springer.com/article/10.100…
