[Gigi Liu @G2Disrupt]

W/ @jerrysalame79's collaboration & @IM_POCUS's leadership, "Basic Cardiac Point-of-Care Ultrasound and Its Clinical Applications" is out! It emphasizes implications of clinical interpretation and applications d/t probe manipulation issues and limitations of various cardiac #POCUS assessments. See below for the paper and highlights!

Thank you to @Deepscope1 for allowing us to modify 3D cardiac models for educational purposes. Check out the videos below!

[Joel M. Topf, MD FACP @kidney_boy]

Someone actually did an RCT of the DDAVP Clamp vs rescue use of DDAVP!

Seems underpowered so the lack of statistical significance for the primary outcome of overcorrection is a bit suss but faster correction at 48 hours for reactive.

Looking with interest at this French study results in ICM for my pleasure ;)

1) JV was the most representative compared with femoral and subclavian vein
2) CRBSI per 1000 CVC days 0.7 for JV and FV and 0.6 for SV
3) In other words, NO DIFFERENCE (p 0.248)
