@julietandphil @RichBreeze1 Chewie has similar qualifications and used to be a school dog. The wellness team at lewisham was key to making this happen, I think he has been lucky to have the right people fighting his corner.

[Simon Carley @EMManchester]

@theBSNR This is unworkable and appears to show a lack of understanding of the effect of pretest probability and basic interpretation of diagnostic tests.

Strongly suggest you retract, review, talk to front line clinicians, discuss with someone who understands diagnostics and redraft.

[RCEM Events @RCEMevents]

Ultrasound has become increasingly embedded as a vital skill for front-line clinicians. This event will explore the applications of ultrasound that are of value in children and how ultrasound can be utilised in paediatric emergency patients.

@cephasplus @EveryOneNoOne1 Personally I would CT anyone with a suspicion . Thanks to @iceman_ex for the pic.

[Anna Colclough @Colclough_Pocus]

@cephasplus @EveryOneNoOne1 Pocus can catch glimpses of Ao but not all. But this is point of care US and not diagnostic US you build your impression from pre-test probability /lab test (perhaps Ddimer) and POCUS. It may bring your suspicion down low enough to clinically exclude.
