@drmarcogarrone @PulmCrit we have just published our improved & tested setup for 'one ventilator multiple patients' here: https://t.co/cTHnlKf6Mr. Hope this might be of help! #COVID19 #VentilatorShortage

Great comments Gordy thanks! #POCUSchat

@MDbenji @cm_lopresti @SocietyHospMed @LMKurian @DrGalenMD @DRsonosRD @JamesVerner10 @nilamjsoni A2) quick video with tips to learn on your own #pocuschat https://t.co/DN3eCtFzaq

@CarlosNolascoMD Carlos, thanks for sharing thepocus atlas. Will definitely forward this along to some colleagues who have been asking for more resources. #POCUSchat

[James Verner @JamesVerner10]

@POCUSAcademy Yes, first scanning then verifying with other modalities or rescanning with a partner would be a great way to develop your skills #POCUSchat

[James Verner @JamesVerner10]

Also if you’re not as familiar with POCUS you could ask a colleague who may be more well-versed to perform the scan with your learners and yourself. This also models collaboration with Colleagues for the patient’s best interest #pocuschat

[James Verner @JamesVerner10]

Even if you’re not usingPOCUS in your clinical practice, getting familiar with the most common errors when using POCUS Will help you still guide trainees. It’s another tool that should be used in context #pocuschat

@benjikmathews @JaredHonigman @LMKurian @pdxfutebol @SHMLive @buckeye_sanjay @nilamjsoni @ReneeDversdal @ria_dancel @drmehtaankit @IMSonoSC @cm_lopresti I usually scan longitudinally and will put color on suspicious looking areas. I had a case of unilateral hydronephrosis that was found with POCUS expediting her ureteral stent! #PocusChat

@benjikmathews @cm_lopresti @pdxfutebol @buckeye_sanjay @anjalibhagramd @IMSonoSC @DrGalenMD @RozyKhanDO @G2Disrupt @ReneeDversdal I will scan patients laying or sitting up for lung US, sometimes both depending on the patient. Usually after lung auscultation/physical exam. I try to position the screen so the patient can see what I'm seeing and use it to explain their disease process #PocusChat

@benjikmathews @pdxfutebol @buckeye_sanjay @anjalibhagramd @IMSonoSC @DrGalenMD @cm_lopresti @RozyKhanDO @G2Disrupt @ReneeDversdal I usually start with lung POCUS and incorporate IVC and Cardiac as needed. I find daily POCUS during diuresis helps guide management of heart failure as well. Today I was able to show one of my patients her malignant effusion that was causing her shortness of breath #PocusChat

@benjikmathews @trevorjensen14 @cm_lopresti @drmehtaankit @hmpocus Continuing to focus on faculty development will Drive further training of residents.

[James Verner @JamesVerner10]

#pocuschat A3. Agreed, Easier access to machines including handheld definitely makes on going use and training of residents and colleagues more feasible.

[James Verner @JamesVerner10]

#pocuschat A2. The biggest barrier in training staff seems to be time. I've had multiple colleagues who are in process of collecting images for their own portfolios is that it adds an hour or 2 on an already busy service day.
