Kidney #POCUS is easy but there are some important pitfalls you must be aware of. What are we looking at here? #Nephpearls #MedEd #IMPOCUS

Size of pericardial effusion on #echofirst is generally graded as small (<1 cm), moderate (1-2 cm), or large (>2 cm), which becomes a little ambiguous in case of asymmetric effusions. This paper explores a quantitative method🔗 onlinejase.com/article/S0894-… (🤔#POCUS relevance) #MedEd

As our #POCUS friends seem to like the #echofirst #anatomy quizzes, lets do one more. What is the structure indicated by arrow in this parasternal long axis view? #MedEd #Nephrology

Normal vs Fatty Liver (hepatic steatosis) side by side. You can see the fatty liver is more echogenic(brighter) with more attenuation of the soundwaves. Grading can be done as mild, moderate and severe (I, II, III)
