Despite its cheeky title ("Not so FAST"), this study on #ultrasound for traumatic PTX is of such poor methodologic quality that its conclusions are not valid.

1st it purports to report diagnostic accuracy. It's not designed as a study of diagnostic accuracy.

@UAlberta_Sono @UCalgaryMed Cannot understate the importance of applying minimal criteria to scans to ensure uniform quality in #POCUS education. Teamwork from @JaneveDesy @nobleultrasound @aliteplo @OlszynskiP @Buchanan_MD @DRsonosRD @shanearish @G2Disrupt et al

@IM_POCUS speaking to program evolution in #POCUS in @UCalgaryMed stellar work!

And we are back! Thanks to this great group for bringing this #impocus course for outpatient doctors! Grateful for #fmpocus collaboration 🙏 and all the expertise shared. @ACPinternists

Ever wondered which lobe/segment of the lung you're scanning during #IMPOCUS (or during PE for that matter)? Check out our new surface anatomy page: #FOAMed https://t.co/dqhArxREpn

[Leo Smyth @LeoS_GIM]

@CalgaryPHdoc @WilliamAberhart @nenshi @cityofcalgary @AHS_media I got one too! Make my day 🥰

FIRST PERSON | In ICUs, the unvaccinated are silent, but as a doctor, I hope they can still hear my words | CBC News https://t.co/tspuVZCLIy

[Damian Paton-Gay @the_dpg]

Just so we are 💯 % clear:
Surgeries are being cancelled because ICU beds are filled with people who did not get vaccinated.

There is no more complexity than that. No fancy science or stats involved. No political incentive. Nothing.

#IMPOCUS for pleural effusion is more accurate, takes less time, and confers higher confidence than physical exam. #SpineSign Thanks to
@IMUS_Spokane et al for the collaboration & congrats to @WalshMH on your #IMPOCUSFellowship project

@WalshMH @IMUS_Spokane @IM_POCUS Great Job @WalshMH !!

[Michael Walsh @WalshMH]

When compare to PE, #IMPOCUS for pleural effusion was more accurate, conferred higher confidence, and required less time. Awesome experience collaborating with @IMUS_Spokane et al and amazing mentorships/leadership by @IM_POCUS as always.
