I've been in formal education for 28 years (1 year break in there). Homework has definitely changed over the years. I'm ok with it... #MBA #KelleyPhysicianMBA

For DVT 3 point compression ultrasound, we preach never compress in the sagittal plane, but there's not harm in looking. #FOAMus #POCUS

Teenage male with cardiac arrest while playing basketball. #POCUS concerning for HOCM. Suspect when septal thickness >/= 15mm.

[IUEM Ultrasound @IUEM_ultrasound]

Our ultrasound fellowship program started in 2012. We finally had a patient go straight to the OR based on our imaging without repeat imaging. Culture takes a while to change. Keep after it. #persistence #POCUS

@IUEM_ultrasound There's not a lot of data out there yet. Nothing on sensitivity/specificity or using with Kanavel's sign (which would be a cool study). Decent case report out of California in @WestJEM https://t.co/WeRpaz1Ugy

Sometimes A4c view is not the best or easiest for viewing TV vegetations. Here it is seen best subxiphoid. Highlights the importance of multiple views. #POCUS
