@ThinkingCC@cianmcdermott POCUS is like any skill set you learn during your residency, fellowship, academic development or research. You are inevitably benefiting your patients along the way. Yes, at some point you nail it down with a certificate.
@DrRajeshG1 Tell your anesthetist to withdraw the ETT 2.5 cm and continue snaring the broken coronary wire and the then finish the device closure of VSR. Tell the surgeon to buy you a coffee at least.
@avkwong@iceman_ex Many of my advanced heart failure patients waiting for Tx or MCS need 10-20 liters of fluid removal. They end up getting fluid in the process simultaneously with diuresis in the form of colloid. Adrian is right but we still need to teach the concepts and correct application.
@dave_harnett @ross_prager This may not an acute event of PE though it cannot be ruled out by one image. Once thrombolysis is administered, using ECMO is fraught with its own complications.
