Fan of awesome ultrasound in Emergency Medicine and Crit Care. Opinions are my own.

Recently published 🫁 systematic review by @BilalAlbaroudi in @WINFOCUS Ultrasound Journal:
▶️ POCUS: 95% sensitive & 98% specific for pleural effusion
▶️ CXR: only 68% sensitive & 85% specific for pleural effusion
#POCUS is better than CXR!

My new (long) video explains why looking for neuro S+S in dizzy patient is useful, how to use the HINTS exam and what to do with constant dizzy patients who don't have nystagmus. And I do a bit of GRACE-3 bashing. https://t.co/PZD6UCjm5i

📎Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) for IM Residents

💧 How to assess volume status (IVC + 🫁 US), when to do it, and some evidence-based medicine behind it

“Clinical guidelines recommend [insert recommendation].”

Start reading the citations that support said recommendations and you’ll soon realize much of what we do in medicine is built on a house of cards. @TheSGEM

What’s the diagnosis?

I have seen many people forwarding this graphic around, claiming that the UK ONS data show that the death rate for vaccinated individuals was much higher than unvaccinated, suggesting vaccines were dangerous and killing people.

This plot is inaccurate and misleading.

In this 🧵, I will demonstrate that the UK ONS data show consistently lower death rates for the ever vaccinated than the unvaccinated throughout the pandemic, for COVID-19 deaths, non-COVID-19 deaths, as well as all cause deaths.

The only way people can spin these data to suggest vaccinated have higher death rates is if they magnify the very small vaccine subgroups and minimize the majority of the vaccinated, as I will show.

In the emergency department, if the “Reason for Visit” recorded at check-in mentions a diagnosis, are physicians more likely to miss other, potentially life-threatening diagnoses? I explore this question in a new paper in @JAMAInternalMed. 🧵1/6

Impressive amount of pericholecystic fluid on biliary #POCUS by our fellow @toreylau
Remember when looking for cholecystitis with ultrasound, look for gallstones PLUS one of:
• Wall thickening
• Pericholecystic fluid
• Sonographic Murphy's
