@cameron_baston "pleural" or "lung" presets are not always the best in my experience

[Keith Barron @IMSonoSC]

@cameron_baston My approach to this is to find a patient who definitely will have B lines (e.g. missed hemodialysis) and try all transducers and presets to identify the best mode for the machine. Then use that going forward

[Keith Barron @IMSonoSC]

Excellent! "The question is beginning to transition from whether one should learn [lung ultrasound] to a question of if it is possible to justify continuing to use the inferior diagnostic modality of CXR for patients?"

I recently tried to explain the anion gap to someone... And really struggled.

Here’s an update of the gamblegram graphic from @thecurbsiders’ acid-base episode, in case anyone else has as hard of a time as I did!

@TheCaseyGlass @G2Disrupt @DRsonosRD @SonoInternist Depends on responsibilities. If just residents maybe 0.1, add more time for training faculty, med students, or fellowship.

"A normal sheath diameter measurement has high sensitivity and a low negative likelihood ratio that may rule out increased intracranial pressure"

[Keith Barron @IMSonoSC]

@AnnalsofIM review online today: #pocus can help diagnose increased intracranial pressure

Thank you #UncleBob aka @medrants for the opportunity to discuss my fav subject: #IMpocus! @thecurbsiders nation, your @KashlakHospital POCUS chief selfishly recommends you listen 😂@AIUMultrasound @susmeorg @POCUS_Society @IM_POCUS @IMSonoSC @SonoInternist @G2Disrupt @ETSshow

[Keith Barron @IMSonoSC]

Great course! Thanks @AIUMultrasound

[AIUM Ultrasound @AIUMultrasound]

That’s a wrap—Thanks to this crew for making the AIUM’s 1st POCUS Hands-on Training Course for Beginners a success! Look out for recaps next week on LinkedIn & Facebook.

[AIUM Ultrasound @AIUMultrasound]

@G2Disrupt @ACPinternists @DRsonosRD @sunnydmtierney Thanks! Great conference by @ACPinternists

[Keith Barron @IMSonoSC]

@cameron_baston But what if I enjoy relying on the same physical exam findings and imaging modalities that were available in 1897? It makes me feel adventurous and sophisticatedly retro...

[Keith Barron @IMSonoSC]

Great updates to an excellent image storage site!
