Can ultrasound help #EMS when the cause of hypotension in a trauma patient isn’t obvious? Join us for a webinar featuring @FOAMfrat’s best, Tyler Christifulli #FOAMus https://t.co/4lNDlIKOlv
Our team wanted to tell a story that highlighted the diagnostic momentum & tunnel vision we are all susceptible to.
Watch as Piezo the probe tries to get the crews attention to help them make the diagnosis!
Happy 2021! @POCUS_Society @coreultrasound@PhilipsPOCUS

Parasternal short-axis view (PSAX)–LV level
• From PLAX view, rotate the transducer 90 degrees clockwise
• Orientation marker toward the pts left shoulder (˜2 o’clock)
• Depth: 12-16 cm
• Tilt transducer face slightly downward toward the pts left hip

Apical 4-chamber view (A4C)
• Transducer on apical impulse
• Orientation marker to pts left (˜3 o’clock)
• Tilt face of transducer up until the u/s beam cuts through long axis of the heart
• Depth: 14-20 cm

Subcostal view
• Patient is supine
• Transducer 2-3 cm below the xyphoid process
• Orientation marker ~3 o’clock
• Direct transducer toward pts chin/left shoulder
• Depth: 16-24 cm
• Tip: Hold transducer palm down to facilitate cephalad angulation of ultrasound beam
Parasternal long-axis view (PLAX)
• Transducer in 3rd-4th intercostal space
• Orientation marker toward the patient’s right shoulder (˜10 o’clock)
• Depth 12-16 cm
• For assessment of pericardial and pleural effusions use a depth of 20-24 cm.
